Bakole believes a fight of this magnitude would not only reignite Africa’s boxing legacy but also serve as a landmark event for the sport globally.
“In Africa, I need my president to be involved, but thank God he is open to it,” Bakole said.
“It would be such a pleasure for me to fight in Africa and be an ambassador for Riyadh Season. I’ve been calling people out like Joshua because he is originally from Nigeria. My hope is to always fight back home in Africa.”
Joshua, a 34-year-old Brit born to Nigerian parents, remains a towering figure in the heavyweight division, even after setbacks in recent years.
With notable victories over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin, Joshua is currently preparing for a high-stakes clash against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.
