The fight

Ajagba wins by decision in a well contested match, but it's important he looks good as world title contention is on the horizon

Scouting Efe Ajagba

Needs to impress if he wants to challenge the heavyweight elite

Scouting Charles Martin

A win here puts Martin back in the mix. That's heavyweight boxing for you

Why the House picks Efe Ajagba

I always feel as if Charles Martin is given a raw deal because of his two-round stoppage loss to the very young and rampaging Anthony Joshua. Along with the fact that he only became the IBF World Heavyweight Champion due to a very strange third-round knee injury stoppage of Vyacheslav Glazkov, he is often overlooked. But he is a formidable heavyweight even in the latter stages of his career. In his other losses to Adam Kownacki(UD), Luis Ortiz(TKO-6), and Jared Anderson(UD), his opponents were made to work for the win. I think the 35-year-old version of Martin can still give Ajagba(31) a test and probably take him to the finish line. As for Ajagba, a gifted specimen who might fall short at the very highest level but should have too much for Martin.
