Dave Allen has given his assessment on the heavyweight scene.
Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion in May.
The pair will rematch in December in Saudi Arabia but as the Ukrainian has vacated the IBF strap it will not be for the undisputed title.
One boxer that is going under the radar is Martin Bakole who Dave Allen believes is a real threat to the heavyweight division.

Speaking to Boxing Social he said: “He is so relaxed, when I sparred him and did the rounds, I couldn’t believe a man of that size could put six or seven shots together as well as he did.
“I’ve sparred everyone, Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk. but none of them put together shots like he did.
“I have never been [hit] by so many different shots, one or two hooks, he’s seriously going to take some beating.
“There is no doubt in my mind, Usyk just can’t beat him, he beats Usyk I have no doubt.
“He is just way too big and he is just all wrong for him. I can only see Zhilei Zhang giving him trouble.
“Fury and Anthony Joshua too, no-one else has any chance with him.”
Bakole defeated American prospect Jared Anderson in style recently to put himself inline to take on the marquee names of the division.
