Fight prediction

Both men have not been particularly active over the past two years (they have only three fights between them since the beginning of 2024). Unless Ajagba opts for a low punch output approach like he did against Stephen Shaw, he should be able to stop someone like Martin. The former heavyweight champion does have a knockout ratio that may cause his opponent to take some precautions. Ajagba should ultimately win this by knockout within eight rounds.
