And the Congolese fighter managed to beat his rival in the fourth round via knockout despite some shockingly hard conditions.

The 30-year-old had to work through the pain dished out by his French opponent.

But the heavyweight also had to manage some extra agony as a wasp flew in the ring and stung him inside his mouth before being swallowed.

The African bruiser couldn’t spend much time celebrating as he rushed to his changing room where he ended up vomiting.

Bakole told iFLTV: “I can’t believe it, I’m surprised. I’m still coughing until now.

“It stung me in the ring, then I was surprised it was in my mouth.

“It started from [my ear], went to my eyes, then I was surprised when I opened my mouth and it went in.

“I was vomiting in my changing room. I think it’s still here [in my throat], but I think I will be okay. I can feel it, it’s crazy.

“I think if it continues, I’ll just go to the hospital, because I can’t continue coughing like this.”

Bakole, though, is still keen to return to the ring for another major heavyweight clash.

The Congolese star called out Deontay Wilder, who has been in talks to box Anthony Joshua.

Bakole said: “He’s No 1, I’m No 2, why not have the fight?

“If he’s not ready, they should take him out of the rankings. I need that fight, maybe in December, maybe in January next year.”
