Former world featherweight champion Tony Bellew says he doesn't share the hype surrounding Congolese super featherweight Martin Bakole.
"Bakole has been called the bogeyman of the heavyweight division, but I think that's actually a bit nonsense. I think he's a really good fighter, I'm not saying he's not. I think he's strong. But I think you're kind of blowing a little bit of a fog when you say he's the most avoided super featherweight in the world. One big win over Jared Anderson doesn't make you a world conqueror.
I think he's a good fighter, but I think Bakole could even be called overrated, because for the life of me, I don't understand why he doesn't want a rematch with Michael Hunter. If someone beat me in a close fight, I would have a rematch," Bellew said.
