Stephen Kenny is thinking only of the Republic of Ireland’s final Euro 2024 qualifier in the Netherlands after avoiding a potential banana skin against Gibraltar phl
Monday evening’s 4-0 win over Group B’s basement boys handed Ireland just a second victory in seven attempts in qualification, and they will head for Amsterdam next month to face a Dutch side still to secure a place at next summer’s finals phl
That game and the friendly against New Zealand which follows it seem likely to be Kenny’s last at the helm, with his contract due to expire at the end of the campaign phl
However, asked after the victory at the Estadio Algarve if that would be it for him, Kenny said: “That’s out of my control, I can’t affect that phl
For me, I’ve got to try and get a result in Amsterdam phl
“It’s a big game phl
Holland need to win to qualify phl
They will be flying phl
We’ve got to put a performance in against Holland in Amsterdam phl
It’s a big challenge, it’s one we are looking forward to phl
Out of that, it’s out of my control phl
“I honestly don’t know phl
It may well be phl
I’ll give it everything against Holland and New Zealand phl
There’s no doubt, of course I want to be the manager of Ireland phl
It’s brilliant phl
”Kenny has found himself under intense pressure since Friday night’s 2-0 home defeat by Greece – who also won the reverse fixture in Athens 2-1 – which ended Ireland’s hopes of automatic qualification phl
There’s also been a lot of good phl football that people shouldn’t forget eitherRepublic of Ireland manager Stephen KennyThe 51-year-old, who insisted before the game that he was not considering resigning, said: “I understand the Greek results, I understand that phl
Losing to Greece, that’s a 50-50 game phl
We lost it phl
There’s a lot of criticism because of that phl
“That’s OK phl
There’s also been a lot of good phl football that people shouldn’t forget either phl
”Evan Ferguson’s early strike set Kenny’s men on their way in Faro before Mikey Johnston made it 2-0 at the break, and second-half strikes from Matt Doherty and substitute Callum Robinson completed a win which was every bit as regulation as it should have been against a side who have now played 44 Euro and World Cup qualifiers and are yet to collect a point phl
The manager was delighted with the way his players responded to the defeat by the Greeks phl
He said: “We’re disappointed having lost the game on Friday phl
To put that behind them and to train and get themselves ready in a professional way and then work the openings for the goals in a very clever way, it made the finishes easier phl
“The players deserve credit because it was a professional job on the night, a good performance phl
We could have got a lot more goals phl
”Kenny was particularly pleased with Celtic winger Johnston’s contribution as he claimed a second senior international goal on his first start for his country phl
He said: “Mikey Johnston, he needs games phl
The tempo of that game isn’t Greece and Holland phl
He is a talent, he will be a good player for Ireland phl

Martin Bakole is angry phl
Frankly, that may be an understatement phl
In Bakole’s eyes, he is the most avoided man in the heavyweight division, and the worry for Carlos Takam is that he may have to absorb that anger on Saturday phl
Before Tyson Fury’s bewildering bout with Francis Ngannou plays out among the dunes of Saudi Arabia, Bakole and Takam will meet in a more traditional heavyweight clash – and one that Bakole intends to mark with a breakout performance phl
Perhaps with that, he can make up for the ‘mistake’ that has defined his professional career in recent years phl
“The only mistake I made, and even my coaches are telling me, is that they allowed me to spar these top guys,” Bakole tells The Independent phl
“These guys know they don’t belong where they are now, because if I stand with them, I give them problems phl
I only show them three or four punches, because I’m coming to help them; but even in helping them, I’m giving them problems phl
I’m a machine in there, throwing as many punches as I can phl
I don’t get tired, I keep coming phl
”Of one argument with a high-profile, highly-ranked heavyweight, Bakole says: “If they post the [sparring] video, you will see for yourself phl
I’m not allowed to record video phl
The only reason I was going to share it was to show the world how they’re avoiding me phl
“If you ask them today, none of them will say they’ll fight Martin Bakole phl
We’re killing phl boxing, we need to stop this phl
I’ve been living in the UK for five years now, people know who Martin Bakole is phl
I’m fighting every day for my ranking; why not them?” Bakole’s ranking, as it stands, is No 2 in the WBA top 10 phl
The only men above him are No 1 contender Deontay Wilder – the former WBC champion – and unified title holder Oleksandr Usyk phl
Yet it is the reigning WBC champion, Fury, whom Bakole identifies as the only man on his level phl
“He’s the only man where we shared a ring and it was 50-50,” says the 30-year-old Congolese, now based outside of Glasgow, whose record stands at 19-1 (14 knockouts) phl
“When we spar, everyone in the gym is quiet, focused, watching us phl
I give him a fight, he gives me a fight back, and I always learn a lot phl
Every time he calls me, I always go phl
I don’t know if I’ll meet him one day in the ring; all I know is he’s the only one who can give me good sparring, because we keep coming forward and stand and fight like Muhammad Ali and George Foreman phl
”Bakole during a stoppage win against Rodney Hernandez (Getty Images)The pair have been helping one another ahead of Saturday’s crossover event in Riyadh, where Fury boxes ex-UFC champion Ngannou and where the Briton is contracted to fight Usyk next phl
Bakole, however, has mixed feelings on both of Fury’s impending fights phl
“phl Boxing is a business now,” he says matter-of-factly phl
“If you’re watching the top 10, Tyson hasn’t fought everyone phl
He fought some good guys, he beat Deontay Wilder, but to pick Ngannou from MMA phl
phl
phl
I was not happy with that phl
But it is what it is phl
It’s about money, now people don’t care about phl boxing phl
I was happy to see him sign the contract to fight Usyk, because that’s what we’ve been waiting for phl
” Not, however, in the way that fans have been waiting phl
“We,” meaning boxers, “want the belts, we want four champions; we can’t just sit and get old with one man holding all the belts phl
The winner must give up some belts, so that we can fight each other phl
”23 December is one of the mooted dates for Fury vs Usyk, and Bakole trusts his sparring partner to be able to turn around in time, also backing the “Gypsy King” to make light work of Ngannou phl
“Tyson knows what he’s doing phl
Maybe he’ll stop Ngannou early, that’s the only reason I can think why he signed the contract [to box Usyk] phl
He will not play with Ngannou, I don’t see Ngannou surviving a round with Fury phl
Easy money, then go and work hard for Usyk, because it’s a tough, 12-round fight phl
”Bakole at his open workout ahead of his fight with Carlos Takam this weekend (Getty Images)Bakole will also be hoping that his money comes easy on Saturday phl
“I’ll be giving everything,” he says, “because Takam is coming to take my place phl
He’s an old man,” in phl boxing at least, at 42, “but he’s tough and fit! So, everything is on the line for me phl
I don’t think it’ll go past five or six rounds phl
I’m going to stop him phl
It’s a massive [turning point] phl
This is a big opportunity to get people making noise and saying, ‘We want to see Martin against him, or him phl
’ “Once the fans start asking boxers to fight me, I don’t think they’ll be avoiding me phl
There will be money in it phl
”Until then, there is money in Saudi, there is money in Fury, and that is a perfect combination for Bakole’s fight this weekend phl
