Congolese sensation Martin Bakole challenges Nigerian-born boxer Anthony Joshua to an African battle.

Anthony Joshua, one of the most well-known heavyweight boxers in recent years, has piqued the interest of fans worldwide.

With the backing of his Olympic Gold Medal and undeniable outstanding star quality, the Watford native, 34, rose to fame shortly after turning pro.

Joshua started his career with an undefeated 22 fight record, which allowed him to hold three of the four major heavyweight belts.

However, he was impeded in his fast rise when Andy Ruiz Jr surprised him during his American debut.

In a rematch, Joshua got even for the defeat, but in an effort to regain his titles, he lost to Oleksandr Usyk.

As a result, Joshua lost the opportunity to be the dominant force in the heavyweight division once more.

However, a formidable adversary has recently entered the debate. A challenger to Anthony Joshua for an African fight, similar to the legendary ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali in 1974, is the rising heavyweight Martin Bakole of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

After stopping American heavyweight fighter Jared Anderson in the fifth round, Bakole’s profile shot up.

In a recent interview, Bakole expressed his desire to take the struggle to his home continent by highlighting the involvement of the president of his country and his readiness to serve as an ambassador for Riyadh Season.

Joshua’s career is far from done because his victories over Francis Ngannou, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Jermaine Franklin have rekindled his ambitions.

Joshua’s renewed connection with trainer Ben Davison has boosted his confidence, and many believe he now possesses the mental toughness required to compete at the highest level.

Joshua is currently preparing for a key fight against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21 in a bid to win three world belts.

If he wins, all attention will be on a potential unification fight against the winner of the Usyk-Tyson Fury rematch.
