After Bakole uploaded a video to his X account earlier today, the former sparring partners no longer seem to be on good terms.
Bakole is scheduled to compete against Efe Ajagba in an IBF world title eliminator this year.
Bakole is ranked in the top five by all four governing bodies with a reputation as a knock out artist.
Their altercation may occur on a future Riyadh Season episode, however the date and location have not yet been revealed.
Joshua, who is presently visiting family in Nigeria, was recently asked what he thought of the battle between Bakole and Ajagba, who is from Ugelli, Nigeria.

He said, “Two giants of Africa coming together to collide. It’s going to be an interesting fight.
“Efe is a good boxer, and obviously, I’m going to support Efe, even though he doesn’t support me.
“I’m backing him (to beat Bakole) because we are from the same place, and I really want to see him do well.”

Bakole responded to the comments by Joshua that Ajagba would win.
He said, “Hey Anthony Joshua, this video is for you. I wanted to call you out, you’re talking s*** about Ajagba saying Ajagba is going to beat me.
“Shame on you, how many times did I call you out? How many times did I ask you to fight in Africa?
“You should feel ashamed of yourself. I want to fight you, I want to knock you out. Look at Daniel Dubois, I broke his nose twice (when sparring) and he knocked you out cold.
“I will knock you out in the first round. We’re talking about Ajagba, Ajagba is a baby wait until you see how I’m going to knock him out.
“I invite you to be there, you’re taking s*** I want to fight you. Stop talking nonsense.”
