‘ANTHONY JOSHUA TURNED DOWN BAKOLE FIGHT! Zhilei Zhang next!’ – BILLY NELSON



Top trainer/manager Billy Nelson talks to us about whether his heavyweight Martin Bakole could fight Anthony Joshua in future, after battering Jared Anderson at the weekend. Nelson also discusses Joshua vs Daniel Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2, Zhilei Zhang and if he now feels vindicated, having believed in Bakole for so long.

  1. Hed flatten aj no danger some power martin hes dangerous let me tell you i dont think any one out ther now beats him

  2. Me and the seconds out team are immensely proud of Martin Bakole. The most avoided man in boxing finally got his chance on Saturday. We will get Ross Koppel to send some shirts over.

  3. I think we shouldn't be over carried away by what Bakole did over the weekend I mean I was expecting the same results Anderson has never been tested his only tough fight was against old Charles Martin that fight he was exposed a lot from that fight I was sure he was not what the public thinks he is the is still a lot of development required for him to archive what most people think he will archive in my own view I think he might have bitten more than what he can chew
    Coming to Zhang I think it will be a tough test for Bakole Zhang is not a joke his a very dangerous counter puncher he will test his chin more than it has ever been tested again the are almost at the same weight same height that will really be a good fight
    I still pick Zhang to win because based on how Bakole fight he will be get countered with Zhang dangerous left hand and knowing that Zhang is a south paw it won't be an easy fight for Bakole many fighters are always finding it very hard fighting against South paws look what happened to Joyce now his history a fighter who was challenging for a world tittle now his done because of fighting dangerous south paw Zhang so fair play to Bakole I wish all the best

  4. Boxing is such a funny thing man. If AJ flattens Dubois and Bakole loses next fight they will say Bakole isn’t shit and AJ is the second coming of Jesus 😄

  5. Love how honest and strsight up Billy is, he cleared up the rumors and gave the top fighters they props and still backed his guy Bakole. Im an AJ fan and think they may have turned the fight down because AJ is chasing the belts yet dont think AJ is ducking the fight he just wants Fury or Usyk first which most fans want to see. Bakole was so impressive in the fight i give him his full respect. AJ Bakole in Congo would be crazy though

  6. He’s not done anything yet Danny!!! What happens if big Bang beats him???? He’s away back down the ladder!!!!

  7. Why would AJ want Bakole? Hes fighting Dubois for a world title and then wants the winner of Uysk v Fury 2. Bakolie is not on the same level yet

  8. Cheers Billy, So Parker v Kabayel for the WBO Interim is next for both.. Should be a cracker.
    Zhang v Bakole could be a WBC final eliminator.

  9. Dude beat up coming boxer and you think you can compete with aj ? Anthony Joshua easy dismantled bakole , easy work

  10. Good on wild bill. He is some man doesnt get credit and he always tells it how it is never slags off any one in the buisness. And big thor chose billy to train him and anyone who knows about thor or any strongman at his level they take every aspect of thinking and training to a whole new level of being methodical so billy aint no mug. If he says big martin is the main man beleve it. Even when he quit billy knew he could have won with one hand he is that good thats what cracked him up that night

  11. The rumour going around is turki wants to stack up the usyk vs fury card and the machester december card with heavyweights, and has recently changed his stance on giving the winner of aj vs dubois the chance to fight winner of usyk vs fury because usyk has already beaten joshua twice and dubois once. Now it all depends on the aj vs dubois result now. As ive now heard the winner will main event the manchester card.

    So what I heard, if aj beats dubois these are the two fight cards below matches in saudi and Manchester

    Saudi card
    Usyk vs fury
    Zhang vs bakole
    Parker vs dubois
    Bivol/beterbiev vs benavidez

    Manchester card
    Aj vs kabayel
    Chisora vs miller
    Joyce vs yoka
    Opetaia vs billam smith

    If dubois beats aj though these are the changes

    Saudi card
    Usyk vs fury
    Bivol/beterbiev vs benavidez
    Aj vs Parker
    Zhang vs miller

    Manchester card
    Dubois vs chisora
    Opetaia vs billam smith
    Joyce vs yoka
    Bakole vs whyte

  12. Congrats to Team Bakole! It was the first time I've seen Martin fight and it was totally captivating. Hopefully Turki will help get Martin in a Top 10 fight soon because M. needs to be given better opportunities than he's been getting.

  13. Is AJ the only heavyweight in the division. He had his plan already. AJ is fighting in September and you are already talking about AJ turning down fight. Come on guys.

  14. Billy is always a good interview so keep em coming.
    Bakoli got a really good win but lets see what hes got when he fights someone like Miller, Ruiz, Parker or Kabyal as those will be massive fights and hopefully get him the title fight. Going to an interesting watch. I just cant see him beating AJ, Fury, Dubois or Usyk as he maybe big but hes not a great boxer

  15. The AJ hate train has pulled into the station
    Keep on hating, AJ dont give a f..k. He is smiling all the way to the bank every time he fights, whether he wins or loose

  16. I like Martins, but he shouldn't make the mistakes of Wilder, Euiz and other HW. Every HW wants AJ, and AJ doesn't have any belt as at today. Let's these HW eliminate each other to get the big money fights. Good fights for Martin are Hunter rematch; Parker; Big Bang; Kabyal; DDD; Big Baby etc.

  17. Does Billy Nelson actually believe the crap he comes out with ? Bakole is 10 years in to his professional career and is 1 ko win and 1 ko loss against the only top 20 fighters he’s fought so let that sink in . Bakole turned pro just less than 2 years after Joshua and now Bakole beats Anderson who was almost stopped by Charles Martin who was flattened by Joshua 8 years ago 🤯 . Let’s get a bit of reality with how Martin’s career is going and Billy conveniently forgets that Bakole pulled himself out of sparring against Joshua and Joyce
