Top Scottish coach Billy Nelson knows his boxing and is convinced that within 18 months, Britain will have another world-class heavyweight.
He’s talking about Martin Bakole Ilunga – and no, he doesn’t sound very British.
He isn’t British. Yet.
Bakole was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, fought out of South Africa and now finds himself in Scotland after a spell in Preston.
