Eddie Hirn: “Probably Parker’s battle is Bacole better than Duba’s duel”

On February 22, the Riyadh will take place in the Riyadh Super Weightweight, which will determine the mandatory contender for the owner of WBC, WBO and WBA titles Alexander Usik.

New Zealander Joseph Parker and DR Congo representative Martin Bakole will meet in the ring. Influential promoter Eddie Hirne shared expectations from future confrontation:

“If this battle was announced at the beginning of the campaign, you would say,” What a cool match. ” The announcement 24-48 hours before the meeting is incredible. Great respect for Parker and Bakole for agreeing. The respect of his majesty, which made it possible. A brilliant battle. This confrontation is likely to be better than meeting Duba.

“I think, watching Bakole in the last few days, that it is not always in the best form, and obviously he was not in a training camp. You would prefer Joseph Parker, but Martin is very dangerous, especially at the beginning of the battle, ”Hirn said.
