BEN SHALOM reckons drafting in Martin Bakole as a late replacement for Daniel Dubois against Joseph Parker is the “most ridiculous deal ever made.”.
Indeed, the promoter reckons it’s the “most ridiculous deal ever made”, with Bakole jumping in at just 48 hours’ notice and risking a second defeat on his incredible 22-1 professional record.
“It’s unbelievable and he deserves a huge amount of credit because no other heavyweight on planet Erath would operate like this, two days knowing he has Joseph Parker.
“And then I was speaking to Martin’s team while I was at the press conference, while it was going on, and saying, ‘Would we take this fight?’.
He claims he messaged Bakole’s team while Dubois’ absence was being confirmed at a press conference.
