Martin Bakole recently faced Joseph Parker in Riyadh after replacing Daniel Dubois in February. Initially, 'Dynamite' was scheduled to lock horns and defend his IBF heavyweight title against Parker. However, the Brit was forced to withdraw from the contest due to illness. Consequently, Bakole was called to step in on a 48-hour notice.
In the replaced WBO interim heavyweight title fight, Parker dominated the fight and won the bout via second-round knockout. As the Congolese fighter gears up to face Efe Ajagba on May 3rd, many fans have become curious about the boxer's life outside the ring.
