Martin Bakole Makes His Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker Prediction After Sparring Both
Martin Bakole is an imposing heavyweight who has shared the ring with both Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois.
Bakole has long been referring to himself as ‘the most avoided heavyweight on the planet’ and there is some evidence to back that up. He has failed to land big fights despite an impressive run of victories in recent years. He handed Tony Yoka his first defeat, has stopped the likes of Carlos Takam and most recently demolished the previously unbeaten knockout merchant Jared Anderson.
With the help of an IBF order, he is not set to face Efe Ajagba in order to determine the mandatory challenger for the world title, currently held by Dubois.

Bakole therefore has a keen eye on the Brit’s upcoming defence against former WBO champion Parker on February 22. Both men are in top form right now. Dubois has stopped Jarrell Miller, Fillip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua in his last three contests, while Parker is coming off points wins over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.
Speaking to Eze Talks Sports, Bakole was asked to make his prediction having sparred several rounds with both men and making huge claims that he made Dubois ‘quit’ in one of those sessions. As such, he is backing Parker for the upset.
“I think Parker will win the fight, that’s my opinion.”
Bakole confirmed that he wants the winner after he beats Ajagba, but given that an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk could be on the table for either Dubois or Parker, the Congolese heavyweight might again be left out in the cold, though he has been named as a potential opponent for Anthony Joshua.
