Martin Bakole goes crazy for Joseph Parker's fight taking a 11 -hour flight with two stops only 36 hours before the Saudi Arabia fight has not had a camp and weighs 25 stones.

Martin Bakole believes that he can “surprise the world” to overcome Joseph Parker on Saturday night, despite being in the Congo after being alone in the fight last night.

With only 36 hours remaining until the big shock, Bakole has been fighting to take a flight to Saudi Arabia, after having received the call to replace Daniel Dubois, who retired due to a disease.

The 31 -year -old heavyweight faces a monumental challenge, without a training camp, a weight of around 25 stones and a hurried trip that includes two flights and up to 11 hours of travel.

Bakole took Instagram on Friday morning to update his followers about the situation, stating that he had not left the Congo: 'Hello everyone. As you can see, I'm waiting on my plane. I am ready to fly to Saudi Arabia for the fight tomorrow.

“We received a phone call yesterday to propose the fight and I said:” I am a soldier, I am a soldier. “I am on a mission. Then, I go to Saudi Arabia to fight, try to fight against the best man, the man who has been In a camp for five or four months.

I would like to thank excellence. This means a lot to me, choosing me to replace Daniel Dubois. Large cards, big platform. I am very grateful.

He added: 'I am already waiting for my plane and in one or two hours I will leave Addis Abeba here and then to Saudi Arabia. I can't wait. This is incredible. It seems that I am dreaming but I am not dreaming.

'I think I will surprise the world tomorrow. I am a boxer. A boxer is like a soldier. Every time they ask you to go to war, you are always ready. So I'm ready to go, no matter what. I have not started the camp yet, but we are ready to start.

After Daniel Dubois withdrew from the fight due to the disease, Bakole was contacted on February 20 and agreed to intervene only two days of warning.

At the time of the call, Bakole was in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He immediately organized his trip, which involved a flight from Congo to Riad, Saudi Arabia, a trip of approximately 3,000 miles and around seven and 11 hours.

This fight marks a significant opportunity for Bakole, who has been recognized as one of the most avoided heavyweights in the division. His record includes impressive victories about notable opponents such as Tony Yoka, Carlos Takam and Jared Anderson.

Despite the brief notice and the lack of a formal training field, Bakole is determined to make the most of this opportunity. He expressed his willingness to face Parker, saying: 'I am ready to fly to Saudi Arabia for the fight tomorrow. I don't mind. We are ready to go.

This fight is part of an important boxing event in Riad, with other significant confrontations, including Artur Beterbiev's rematch with Dmitry Bivol. The event has drawn attention for its rapid reorganization and the high profile nature of the fights involved.
