Nigeria, May 4 -- In a highly anticipated clash that promised to catapult one contender closer to heavyweight glory, Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba instead delivered a tepid performance that left more questions than answers.

Meeting on the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez vs William Scull showdown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, both men had a clear opportunity to re-establish themselves in the crowded heavyweight division, but neither seized the moment.

Instead, fans witnessed a 10-round majority draw between two fighters in need of clarity and momentum.

With the judges scoring the bout 96-94 for Ajagba and 95-95 (twice), the result effectively stalls both careers, casting doubt on their immediate futures in the sport's elite.

For Martin Bakol...
