Boxing: Martin Bakole vows to knock out Efe Ajagba, Anthony Joshua

Martin Bakole has never been one to shy away from a challenge. The Congolese heavyweight has set his sights on two of the biggest boxing stars with Nigerian heritage: Efe Ajagba and Anthony Joshua.

In a fiery social media video released on Monday, 6 January, Bakole outlined his ambitions for 2025, vowing to knock out Ajagba and Joshua and solidify his place as a dominant force in the heavyweight division.

“I want to knock you out,” Bakole said, addressing Joshua directly. “I heard you talking shit, saying Ajagba was going to beat me. Shame on you. How many times did I call you out? How many times did I ask to fight in Africa? You should be ashamed of yourself. I want to fight you. I want to knock you out.”
