Nisse Sauerland on Filip Hrgovic: “We Would Love to Fight Bakole…”

Nisse Sauerland Speaks to Sky Sports About Filip Hrgovic

“We are looking for another step up for him. We need more of a test. We would love to fight Bakole, Zhilei Zhang, Sergey Kuzmin, Michael Hunter. Hopefully one of these comes true.

“Bakole, at this stage of their careers, would be a great test for Filip and a great spectacle for the fans. Fighting Bakole would be the acid test. It is a fight that could be made. It’s a great fight. I know an offer has been made to Bakole – the question is how serious they are about fighting Filip.

“People are very loud about fighting Filip until push comes to shove and suddenly they go quiet. I don’t blame them! But they have to back up their words. When things get real, people tend to not answer their phones.

“The toughest task for Filip is to find people to fight him. People want to hold out for the golden ticket to fight Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury but that fight is fight is going ahead, so [other heavyweights] are jockeying for position. We want our shot but, at the same time, we want to keep busy while waiting.”
