Martin Bakole Outweighs Joseph Parker by Over 20kg

Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) has undergone an unofficial weigh-in ahead of his clash with WBO interim heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs).

Bakole tipped the scales at 142.8 kg (314.7 lbs)—a significant increase compared to his previous bout against Jared Anderson, where he weighed 129 kg (284.4 lbs).

Parker also came in at his heaviest ever, registering 121 kg (266.8 lbs).
