Is Bakole in country or is he still en route?

Sheeraz is absolutely huge for a middleweight.

Sheeraz looks supremely confident, so does the other guy to be honest.
This is a much tougher fight for Sheeraz than I first thought. Acid test

I got the impression that he’s he’s there and coming to the weigh in.
As for catching stuff on a commercial flight, you’d think turkey would’ve put him on a private jet. He’s probably got a few jets in the garage

Josh should’ve got on stage in his electrician gear. And broken Shakur’s mind

Contemptuous from Stevenson there, Josh looked a bit under the headlights…I saw an interview with Shakur yesterday he’s actually a nice kid, very smart too..obviously. Great 1950’s sunglasses

It's amazing they were able to get a replacement opponent as good as Bakole on such short notice.

They must have read Joe's weight wrong there. No way he is 267lbs.

I think Parker was 247lbs and they misread the scale. Not a cat in hell's chance he is 267lbs.

Was Bakole already in training for a different upcoming bout?

He was meant to be fighting in May. They claim he has been in the UK training for 8 weeks and had just popped back to Congo to oversee some building work.

Martin on the way to weigh in they say. Bringing the thunder!
And reinforce the gangplank
I wasnt gonna make any weight jokes until we see him
Sorry, yes your right.
The recent photo in the airport lounge just looks normal Bakole to me. His last fight he had roughly the same gravitational pull?

I wondered who that voice was joining the DAZN crew, it’s the great Bud Crawford
And he’s not even the best 135lb champion in the room

Ade the DAZN anchor man is terrific, Genuine enthusiasm, intelligent, no ego and funny
Frank says everything is okay, he’s tracking big Marty’s flight on his watch. He’s getting funnier with age
The good news is DAZN just got Barry Jones in the studio. The bad news is Adam Smith is standing next to him.

Apparantley he's done 8 weeks, but then had to go and build a house in the Congo.
