Bakole's Big Break: WBA Eliminator on the Books!

The WBA's ringing the bell for a super bantamweight showdown, pitting top dog Martin Bakole against seventh-seed Cassius Chaney. The clock's ticking with a 30-day countdown for both camps to hash out the fight details. The victor of this slugfest gets a golden ticket as the mandatory challenger for the championship belt. Which title is up for grabs? The WBA's keeping that under wraps for now.

Let's talk titles. Oleksandr Usyk has the WBA Super title in his corner, and he's putting it on the line against Tyson Fury on February 17. Then there's the WBA Regular belt, currently in Mahmoud Charr's possession. He's slated to square off with Kubrat Pulev in March.

Rewind to October 2023: Bakole notched a technical knockout against Carlos Takam. Hot on his heels, in November 2023, Chaney clinched an early decision win over Trevor Bryan (22-2, 15 KOs).

Bakole's been eyeing big names for a while, throwing out challenges to Joshua, Dubois, and Charr. Will this eliminator pave his way to the top? Stay tuned!
