Following Martin Bakole’s emphatic stoppage win over Jared Anderson earlier this month, there’s already some preliminary ideas on his subsequent outing, with Turki Alalshikh reportedly seeking to match him in opposition to Zhilei Zhang. If that’s one thing Alalshikh desires to pursue, Bakole tells Sky Sports activities that he’s totally on board.
“I’d like to struggle large Zhang in December in China,” Bakole advised Sky Sports activities. “I heard His Excellency wished to make the struggle in China in order that’s the struggle I’m in search of. If that occurs I’ll be so pleased.”
Bakole’s promoter, Ben Shalom, would add {that a} struggle in opposition to Zhang can be a surefire thriller for boxing followers, and one that would have large ramifications for the way forward for the division.
Zhang is most not too long ago coming off of a stoppage win over Deontay Wilder in June and has seen his inventory rise considerably after back-to-back wins over Joe Joyce, and even regardless of a loss to Joseph Parker in March he proved to bounce again robust.
A struggle between Bakole and Zhang can be a transparent banger for so long as it lasts, and given that just about everybody appears to be on board with the notion, hopefully this struggle features official traction in brief order.
