Press Release

Two exciting Heavyweight matchups have been added to the undercard of Anthony Joshua's Unified World Title defence against Kubrat Pulev on Saturday December 12, shown live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and on DAZN in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.

Hughie Fury (24-3, 14 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time since his three-round destruction of Pavel Sour at Manchester Arena back in March to take on Poland’s Mariusz Wach (36-6, 19 KOs), a former opponent of Wladimir Klitschko, Alexander Povetkin and Dillian Whyte.

"I’m very excited to be back in action again on December 12," said Fury. "It’s been a while and I’m ready to show what I’m all about. I’ve been in the gym working on a lot of different aspects of my game, perfecting what I needed to do.

"Mariusz Wach is a good fighter who’s been in with many top tier fighters including a World Title challenge. He brings power and size, and you can’t switch off for a second. I want these kind of fights as these fights will help me achieve what I need. I’m expecting a tough fight with Wach."

Martin Bakole and Sergey Kuzmin fight for the vacant WBC International Heavyweight Title after their proposed fight earlier in the year was rescheduled. Both men share respective 15-1 records and will be looking to gatecrash the world rankings.

“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the WBC International Title on such a big night of boxing", said Bakole. "A victory over Kuzmin is another step to making my dreams come true."

“This fight with Bakole is very important for me, I need to bounce back from my defeat to Michael Hunter last time and get back on track towards a World Title," revealed Kuzmin. "Martin is big, tall and comes forward, we know his strengths. I come only to win on December 12.”

Bakole gotta win. He looks more diverse and fluid.

Bakoles real age of about 40 could show here

Billy nelson has Martin down as no 1 p4p.

Crazy thing is every time he talks i believe him. Wish they would just say what was wrong the michael hunter night, because i feel stupid beliving an excuse i dont know. Hope he batters kuzmin and sparks him within 6 rounds. Do that on a AJ undercard and you gotta get some momentum back.

Fight week

Yeah not looking forward to the Fury fight much but this one I am.

Hopefully the winner of each heavyweight undercard fight will face off against one another.

I think Kuzmin can take this on points..

He arguably lost to Dawejko. Bakole looks more fluid and fast.

Bakole Chins him spectacularly. Only way i see this not happening is if Bakole comes in way out of shape. I think Bakole can mix it with the top 15, i think Kuzman is a 30th-50th in the world type.

P.s does anyone know Bakoles age, not listed on boxrec, suspiciously low on wiki, I realy want to know (his actual age). If he is 27, which i do not belive, then he is going to be a big player in the heavyweight division...

If Billy Nelson could spell / had a brain, and if Bakole could genuinely fight when he’s not sharing explicit stuff on his phone, these two would have been superb cannon fodder on ESB/Doghouse a decade ago.

Was a crap fight overall..

Hughie's fight was better than this.

Sometimes when it's hard to score a round, it can be a good thing, but in this case.. It wasn't.
