Martin Bakole questions why Eddie Hearn changed his tune about the wisdom of him who took the battle with Joseph Parker as the substitute opponent on two days’ notice after initially saying he was an upgrade of Daniel Dubois for last Saturday night .
Hearn’s flip-flop
Bakole says Hearn still supported his fighter Anthony Joshua to come back after he was upset by Andy Ruiz Jr. In their first battle in June 2019. He wonders why Hearn thinks he shouldn’t have fought with Parker.
Bakole still has an IBF title -Liminator against Efe Ajagba on May 2, and if he wins it, he will be mandatory for champion Dubois. It is a kick -off fight if bakingols in the low 280s are in shape.
‘Ajagba is an ibf -eliminator. So, the fight against Joseph Parker is for the IBF eliminator. They are both the same. I see no change, ”Martin Bakole said The bumpy groundAnd respond to Eddie Hearn, saying he didn’t think he had to fight with Joseph Parker when he was facing an IBF eliminator on May 2.
“He (Hearn initially) said,” It would be a better battle than Dubois, “” said Bakole about Hearn who said before his fight with Parker that he was a better option for him than his originally scheduled battle against The IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. “Why does it change (after) knocking out because it can happen.
“It happened to AJ. Andy Ruiz beat him with a beautiful punch. It’s the same with me. He (Hearn) believed in AJ. He returned to the gym, worked hard and became a two -time champion. So why did he (Hearn) change now? “
It would be a different story if Hearn Bakole promoted and if he had been from the beginning. Hearn would support him all the way, just as he did with Joshua after being knocked out by Andy Ruiz in their first fight in 2019, and he first lost to Oleksandr Ulsyk. He held on to him.
Joshua protected?
“They avoid everyone. They don’t want to put me in with the best because they know I’m dangerous. Eddie watches me with Joshua Spar, ”says Bakole. “He knows how competent I am. He knew if I had been in camp for one or two months, Joseph Parker wouldn’t say yes to fighting against me. ‘
A bakingols in the form would be a nightmare for Joshua, and Hearn knows it. He is going Protect his golden goose For as long as he can and does not allow him to finish Bakole. AJ’s career is already on thin ice because it is after Daniel Dubois blew him to Planet Neptune. He is not going to allow a well -conditioned 280+ pound of baking to Joshua what he did to Jared Anderson.
“I come out and call Eddie and say: I want to fight AJ in Africa. (Turki Alalshikh) says, “Do you want to see Martin Bakole and AJ in Africa?” Eddie Hearn never says anything. He doesn’t want it, ‘says Bakole.
