Kubrat Pulev is convinced WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua is afraid of him. The Bulgarian who is awaiting his IBF mandatory shot at AJ has said this several times, and now, in speaking with Sky Sports, Pulev’s manager, Ivaylo Gotsev, says he agrees with his fighter.
Like everyone else, promoter Bob Arum wants to see a Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua super-fight takes place. Arum, in speaking with Sky Sports, says the fight will be worked on for some time next year – if Joshua beats Kubrat Pulev.
Kubrat Pulev will be looking to beat Anthony Joshua to keep his record a perfect one against UK fighters when he face him later this year.
Kubrat Pulev is mad as hell. Annoyed over the way Anthony Joshua, and Eddie Hearn, is talking about the possibility of swerving him and going into a massive fight with Tyson Fury, Pulev has insisted he will not go away; that he WILL get his mandated shot at Joshua and that he will beat him – “brutally.”
“After all, it’s a world championship, which must take place,” Kubrat Pulev.
There is a chance, perhaps only a small one, that boxing history could be made in the UK this summer.
As fans know, promoter Bob Arum is absolutely insistent his fighter Kubrat Pulev will not only defeat Anthony Joshua when he faces him in a long-awaited IBF mandatory title challenge but that the Bulgarian will do so by KO.
Like everyone else involved in the sport of boxing, promoter Eddie Hearn is having to cope with the ongoing coronavirus issue.
Eddie Hearn has ruled out staging IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s title defense against IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev behind closed doors in order to guarantee the fight happens in 2020.
As the Coronavirus continues to spread across the globe and increase the level of unease, even panic among people everywhere, a number of big sporting events are in danger of being postponed.
Top Rank boss Bob Arum will be giving us all a massive “I told you so,” if his prediction ahead of the June 20 fight between defending heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua and challenger Kubrat Pulev comes true.
