Deontay Wilder replaced by ‘most avoided heavyweight’ on Terence Crawford undercard...

It now seems highly likely that Wilder will hang up his gloves after admitting before the fight that defeat could spell the end of his career.

But one man's loss is another man's gain - and Martin Bakole has now been given the call to face Anderson instead. The Congolese boxer has been steadily climbing up the heavyweight rankings after falling to defeat for the first and only time in his 21-fight career against Michael Hunter in 2018.I got KO'd by Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois but neither hit as hard as 'Lay Em Out'The difficulty of finding a fight for Bakole has led to his promoter Ben Shalom branding him 'the most avoided heavyweight' on the planet.

Boxing promoter Frank Warren believes that Deontay Wilder should have retired after his Tyson Fury fight trilogy after his recent loss to Zhilei ZhangIsrail Madrimov vs Terence Crawford - WBA super-welterweight title"His stamina is excellent, he's extremely strong and on top of all of that, he is a very good boxer.

If Bakole can derail the hype train then he will find himself in a very strong position to challenge for world titles down the line.
