Bakole has reportedly accepted an offer to face Yoka in France in December.

Good fight for me. Based on previous performances, either could win as both have shown glimpses of their potential but have also been lacklustre in other fights. I think that if either of them don't perform at their very best they will likely lose.

From all the heavyweight prospects competing nowadays, only Yoka and Joyce are being matched against notable names.
Yoka beats the excessively obese Bakole by mid-to-late rounds stoppage.
On a side note, wasn't Bakole previously considered the favourite to land the IBF final eliminator against Filip Hrgovic?
And wonder who Hrgovic will end up facing next?

Not a bad matchup.
Yoka will win by decision (or possibly a quick stoppage). Bakole has a good chin.

A nice matchup. I'd pick Yoka to outbox Bakole.

Really like this fight. Yoka should not lose a round if he isn’t hurt, but his chin is iffy and bakole is a big boy.
I’d say it’s an 80-20 to yoka.

Good opportunity for both fighters. Next step for the winner will be a Top 10.

Good matchup this. At least compared to their previous bouts. Should tell us a lot about each of them. Is it on TV?

I need to check out some more Bakole fights for a more informed decision, but despite my dislike for him Yoka is a good fighter. I'll let you know nearer the time who my money is on, but for the moment Yoka seems the prospect with the more momentum.

Agree with your comments, so I would say 50:50
Yoka has cleary improved his defence since his last KOs. But he is chiny and Bakole just need to connect a few times to put him in big troubles.
Yoke by UD as he will not take any risk

Super tough match-up for Yoka. I think Yoka is a comfortable favorite to win on the cards, but Bakole has a considerable puncher's chance.
