The latest odds for an intriguing heavyweight clash between Joseph Parker and Martin Bakole on 'The Last Crescendo' card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
(*Odds will display when market is available).
Joseph Parker is odds-on to reign supreme when he takes on the dangerous Martin Bakole in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on just two days' notice after original opponent Daniel Dubois pulled out due to illness.
New Zealander Parker was preparing to battle for Dubois' IBF heavyweight world title but instead he will take on another of the most feared fighters in the heavyweight division in the form of Bakole.
Hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bakole resettled in Airdrie, Scotland just under a decade ago and has developed into a menacing heavyweight - stopping American prospect Jared Anderson in just five rounds in his last outing in August 2024.
A fight against Parker, who is in form himself following impressive victories over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, will represent a tough test for Bakole - especially on just two days' notice.
It is therefore perhaps unsurprising to see the Congolese fighter rated an underdog ahead of 'The Last Crescendo' on Saturday night.
