Must be Hrgovic, presuming Ruiz drops out. Wilder and (most likely) Joshua won't go for it unless it's for a vacant and then it's Bakole next.

I doubt Frank is too keen to put Dubois in with Martin.
Bakole's team have been pushing for the mandatory against Dubois so they might have hope that that's going to happen or possibly the IBF shot could come instead.
True, I'd like to see it, I'm assuming Lerena was a voluntary defence? Mandatory must be about due now then, ten months since he fought Bryan. Who do you favour in a Dubois-Bakole fight?
I don't remember a mandatory being called so must have been voluntary. To be honest, it's a tough one. I think Bakole is tougher and probably hits harder throughout most of his punches but Dubois is quicker with his punches and has more one punch KO power. I'd probably slightly favour Bakole. You?

I tend to think similar, Dubois would probably look the better early but if Bakole took him into deep waters he'd probably drown him based off what we've seen. I do like Shane as a coach, would be intrigued what adjustments he'd make if Bakole was getting on top. Don't think he was in the corner against Joyce iirc. Great fight, doubt we see Shalom send another of his heavyweight signings straight on to Queensbury though.

I'll take your word for it. Is that who we'll be seeing Martin against? Hunter is still talking about Bakole...

Bakole took his licks and has strong together a hugely impressive set of wins.

Hunter has done nothing since apart from playing tortoise against Povetkin ....and seems retired

Bakole to KO Hunter :box:

What is Hughie doing these days? His career has gone off track.

With his man strength he should be back in the mix

Really like Bakole and would like to see him get a title shot, but reckon they should avoid revisiting Hunter, not necessary and the mans a nightmare he doesn’t need again just now. There’s other contenders he can knock seven bells out of instead

When you anounce a signing you should have a fight made to anounce, momentum is one hell of a drug…

Bakole vs hunter, hughie, or Parker are all very very good fights. (Doubt we get that though)

100%..

That’s what they usually do. Have they even said he’s gonna appear on a card soon?

Nothing.

But we'll probably end up with Bakole vs Massey.

I would favour Bakole. I don't know if that Larena fight was an anomaly, I can't see Bakole letting Dubois off if he had him unsteady. I would like to see Martin get a shot at something.

No because purse bids are due for Hrgovic v Ruiz.

Purse bids were meant to be today but Ruiz has withdrawn. I think it’s then Wilder and AJ followed by Bakole.
