Bakole vs. Ajagba Could Take Place on a Major Riyadh Undercard

A heavyweight clash between Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba is being considered for the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull, which is set for May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The main event will be for the undisputed super middleweight championship.

Originally, Bakole and Ajagba were set to fight in New York, with an IBF title eliminator status on the line. However, Bakole accepted a last-minute fight against Joseph Parker, stepping in just two days before the bout. He suffered a second-round knockout loss, derailing his path to a title shot.

As a result, their potential matchup will no longer carry eliminator status.
