Ajagba’s who represented Nigeria at the 2016 Rio Olympics, turned professional in 2017.

Now, Ajagba is gearing up for a crucial bout against Martin Bakole on May 4, 2025, on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez’s super-middleweight title defense in Saudi Arabia.

Despite Bakole’s recent knockout loss to Joseph Parker, Ajagba remains cautious, acknowledging his opponent’s dangerous resume, which includes wins over notable fighters like Jared Anderson and Tony Yoka.

This fight, an IBF heavyweight title eliminator, could position him for a shot at the IBF champion, Daniel Dubois, or even a dream matchup against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.
