Martin Bakole is the leading heavyweight in the WBA rankings after Dubois and he is gunning for his own shot at Usyk.
If Dubois is not ready to box Usyk, the IBF's mandatory challenger, Filip Hrgovic might get the next shot at Usyk but Bakole will remain well positioned in those WBA rankings and look for a final eliminator for the title.
"He's going to get his chance," Ben Shalom, Bakole's promoter, told
I think Oleksandr Usyk selfishly would much prefer to fight Filip Hrgovic than Martin Bakole.
