Speaking to IFL TV, Bakole found it hard to pick a winner and sat on the fence somewhat.
He said: “This is a hard question. Very hard question. 50/50. On points I can see Usyk, and knockout, it maybe a surprise, but the Gypsy King. Because he has to fix his mistakes, you know, people judge him against Ngannou. Imagine if he stops Usyk, they will say that the Ngannou fight was a little bit of a mistake, he didn’t take it serious.”
He continued: “It’s so hard because I know Usyk is world class. Top class movement. But the Gypsy King – I’ll go draw for me.”
