Comments Thread For: Arum Names Martin Bakole, Agit Kabayel As Options For Tyson Fury

I doubt it'll happen but Frank Sanchez would be the best fight to prepare for Usyk in December. Hopefully Fury at least fights someone with a pulse like Hrgovic, Bakole, Makhmudov, or even Hunter if he wins his tuneup fight.

I ****ing said it was going to be Kayabal months ago. What a joke

Yes, these guys are probably ready to accept a very short money.

But let`s not pretend like all higher ranked guys were unavailable.

For an interim fight before the December unification? Those are highly ranked guys.

Bakole and Kabayel are not top 10.

I'd rather have it be Francis Ngannou!

It won’t be Bakole. I almost guarantee it.

No, they wouldn't be that ******ed as to throw Fury in with Bakole. He would slowly grind Fury down to a shell of himself by the end of the fight.

Better then fighting some scrub named Franklin from the slums of Detroit

Otto Wallin and Sanchez are then ones that make most sense . Fury’s guys were already trying to sell the Zhang fight stating he’s a southpaw , Wallin and Sanchez are even closer to Usyks size and fighting style so expect Fury will stay clear from those two and choose the far lesser threatening Kabayel who’s petrified of Fury .

Bakole and Kabayel are not top 10.

Both are WBC ranked contenders, and both would be a worthy interim challenger leading up to Fury giving Usyk a title shot, should Usyk get past his own interim challenger (which he may not).

I don`t give a damn about WBC.

They are not top 10 by The Ring.
