Martin Bakole is angry. Frankly, that may be an understatement. In Bakole’s eyes, he is the most avoided man in the heavyweight division, and the worry for Carlos Takam is that he may have to absorb that anger on Saturday.

Perhaps with that, he can make up for the ‘mistake’ that has defined his professional career in recent years.
