Heavyweights Martin Bakole (19-1-0) and Carlos Takam (40-7-1) will showcase their skills coming up soon on Saturday, October 28. Bettors should check out Barkole, as he is a heavy favorite to win at -750.

Bakole is currently on an eight-fight sun streak coming into this event. His most recent success was a TKO over Ihor Shevadzutskyi back in April earlier this year.

Looking at his 19 career wins, 14 of them have been by knockout. This makes his knockout success rate at 73.68 percent. He also has a ton of experience under his belt, with 76 total rounds across 20 bouts.

Based on his previous success, he is currently sitting 12^th in the world rankings for best heavyweight boxer. He is also ranked as the best heavyweight boxer from  Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Bakole understands what is at risk here and he cannot afford to have any slip ups. While this is not the toughest battle of his career, he should be well-prepared for the showdown and aim to impress.

Takam has gone 1-2 over the last three battles he has been a part of. His most recent fight was a split decision against Tony Yoka in March of this year, making him close to losing three-straight fights.

Out of his 40 wins, he has accumulated 28 of them by knockout. This means he typically lands knockouts about 70 percent of the time. He has more than enough experience, as he has 265 rounds fought among 48 bouts overall.

He has steadily improved his resume over the years, but has fallen back a bit in the rankings. He is currently considered to be the 19^th-best heavyweight boxer in the world and the top overall option from France.

He has not looked as appealing since his loss to Joe Joyce back in 2021. However, he has a great opportunity to get back in the swing of winning if he can do well here.

MyBookie is displaying the odds for this contest, where Martin Bakole is the clear frontrunner. If you are contemplating betting on Bakole, you might want to consider including him in a parlay with other matches that evening to increase the potential payout.

Takam has been fighting professionally since 2005 and is 42 years of age. Many wonder how much longer he has in the tank, especially against good fighters. This could end early within the first four rounds if Bakole stays aggressive.
