If you’re into heavyweight boxing, keep an eye on the Martin Bakole vs Efe Ajagba eliminator this May in the USA. This fight is a big deal—the IBF has lined it up as the final eliminator for Daniel Dubois’ world title. Dubois, by the way, is defending his belt against Joseph Parker next month on February 22, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Bakole has been building an impressive record and is no stranger to tough matchups. Remember the buzz around Jared Anderson vs Martin Bakole? That was another potential barnburner people were excited about. Bakole’s stats are solid—his reach, weight, and age make him a serious contender. Plus, with Ilunga Makabu as his brother, fighting runs deep in the family.
This fight with Ajagba could be his stepping stone to the top rankings, depending on the odds and how well he performs. Ajagba’s no pushover, though—both of their styles and records suggest this will be a close one. It’ll be fascinating to see if Bakole can use his size and power to dominate.
Predictions? I’d say Bakole takes it if he can control the tempo and avoid Ajagba’s heavy hands. But it’s boxing, and anything can happen. What are your thoughts on their next fights and where this leaves the division? Let’s hear it!
