Bakole’s Trainer to Turki: "We’re Waiting for the Call"

Trainer Billy Nelson, who coaches Congolese heavyweight Martin Bakole, has reacted to the possible cancellation of the IBF heavyweight title fight between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker.

"Turki Alalshikh, we’re waiting for the call. Martin Bakole is ready for battle," Nelson wrote.

Reports suggest that Dubois has fallen ill and could be forced to withdraw from his scheduled fight against Parker. Possible replacements include Lawrence Okolie, David Adeleye, and Mourad Aliev.
