Deontay Wilder could be offered a world title fight against Martin Bakole, if the WBA belt becomes vacant, says the Congolese heavyweight’s trainer Billy Nelson
Bakole returns to action against Carlos Takam on the undercard of Tyson Fury’s fight against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou this Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
Fury has announced he will next fight Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed world title fight on December 23 and Bakole will be in line to fight No 1 WBA contender Wilder, if the WBA belt is then vacated.
