"Exciting Matchup on the Horizon: Bakole vs. Ajagba Set for IBF Heavyweight Eliminator"
In the dynamic world of heavyweight boxing, Martin Bakole often stands out as the underdog. While Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel gear up to face each other, Bakole is left without an opponent for now. However, his prospects are looking up, especially with his favorable rating by the IBF.
The IBF champion, Daniel Dubois, holds the top spot, leaving the second and third spots vacant. Kabayel, Bakole, Zhang, and Efe Ajagba follow in the rankings. The IBF has mandated a showdown between Bakole and Ajagba to determine the top contender for Dubois.
Ajagba, a formidable Nigerian boxer based in Texas, boasts an impressive record of 20-1 with 14 knockouts. Bakole, on the other hand, gained recognition after a dominant fifth-round victory over Jared Anderson in California.
Promoted by Boxxer, Bakole is eyeing the opportunity to face Ajagba, who is represented by Top Rank. Shalom, from Boxxer, is eager to organize this exciting match, emphasizing Bakole's potential to excel on the world stage.
"Fighting Martin Bakole, would you want your heavyweight fighting Martin Bakole? People have probably looked at the last few fights and seen what’s happened to Jared Anderson, and he [Bakole] can make very good fighters look very average," Shalom expressed confidently. "Once he gets his world title, it will be impossible to avoid him."
The impending clash between Bakole and Ajagba is not just a fight but a stepping stone towards a world title shot. The stage is set for Bakole to prove his mettle and solidify his position in the fiercely competitive heavyweight division.
