In September of last year, Joshua lost to Daniel Dubois in a world heavyweight title battle at Wembley Stadium. He is now being prepared for a rematch in Nigeria early next year.
Joshua’s former sparring partner Bakole has offered to take against the British-Nigerian boxer in what he is calling “the Rumble in the Jungle II.”
“I’d gladly accept the fight with Anthony Joshua.” Being African fighters ourselves, we are witnessing the return of boxing to Africa.
“I don’t want to fight Anthony Joshua.” He is aware of the sparring incident. I will definitely knock him out if we go into the ring.
“I’ll even defeat him in front of his own people in Nigeria.” This is the battle to be fought. Additionally, we must succeed in Africa. The Rumble in the Jungle II will be the event.
Bakole is one of several candidates being considered for Joshua’s comeback, according to promoter Dr. Ezekiel Adamu, who recently organized the successful Chaos in the Ring event in Lagos in collaboration with Amir Khan.
“He is a possibility. For this specific fight, we have a lot of possibilities, but sure, Martin Bakole is present.
