Heavyweight contender and Congolese boxing superstar Martin Bakole has given his Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte pre-fight prediction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21-2-1 fighter has given a brutally honest prediction ahead of Saturday’s heavyweight match-up in Riyadh between two of Britain’s best heavyweight boxers.<\/p>\n

Martin Bakole Gives Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte Prediction<\/h2>\n

When it comes to boxing, it’s fair to say that Martin Bakole knows a thing or two. As a professional, Bakole has laced up the gloves on 24 occasions. Of these 24 fights, he has won 21 with 16 of these coming via knockout.<\/p>\n

Odds on Bakole becoming world heavyweight champion are relatively short with boxing betting sites<\/a>, which goes to show the level of fighter the Congolese native really is.<\/p>\n

His next fight is yet to be confirmed, but the 32-year-old will undoubtedly have one eye on Saturday’s Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Having lost inside two rounds to Joseph Parker before drawing with Efe Ajagba last time out, Bakole will be desperate to get back in the win column before the end of the year. Not only that, but it could well be against Whyte or Itauma.<\/p>\n

This entirely depends on the outcome of their heavyweight clash this weekend. As a keen onlooker, Bakole could well face the winner of Itauma vs Whyte, before a potential clash with undisputed king Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n

Given the fact he could face the winner, Bakole is keeping a watchful eye over Saturday’s main event. Thus, the Congolese heavyweight contender has given a bold prediction for the Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte showdown.<\/p>\n

At 37-years-old and having been inactive since his KO defeat to Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte’s next fight<\/a> against hot prospect Itauma is one the majority of people are expecting him to lose via knockout.<\/p>\n

One man who agrees with these sentiments is world heavyweight contender Martin Bakole.<\/p>\n

Bakole: ‘Dillian Whyte Will Get Knocked Out’<\/h3>\n

Speaking in a recent interview with Seconds Out<\/em>, Martin Bakole gave his totally honest assessment of the upcoming Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte fight.<\/p>\n

Bakole is one of the top heavyweight’s in the world right now, despite losing inside two rounds to Joseph Parker earlier this year, as well as drawing his last contest with Efe Ajagba.<\/p>\n

The Congolese 21-2-1 power puncher feels that Whyte could beat Itauma with experience, but believes that the 20-year-old will be too fast, too fresh and too explosive for ‘The Body Snatcher’:<\/p>\n

The Doncaster-born heavyweight believes the fight could go longer than some people are predicting, but that Itauma will have too much for Whyte and secure another knockout:<\/p>\n

“I think maybe Dillian Whyte will get knocked out. He’s been out for long. Moses is moving a lot. Like Usyk, he’s a small heavyweight; he doesn’t need to stay in front of a big guy, he is going to get knocked out, but I think he is going to move a lot and try to box him.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Everyone knows Dillian Whyte after round four, five, six he gets tired and he starts fighting like someone who has never been in the gym before.<\/em><\/p>\n

“If he can move his feet and lose a bit of weight, with his experience, he can maybe beat Moses but no, Moses right now, this is his time. I think he can knock him out to get in the mix,”<\/em> Bakole concluded.<\/p>\n
