Happy he's staying busy. Inactivity kills, and Pulev has been very patiently awaiting his shot. Hopefully he comes thru this fight unscathed soas he can fight the winner of Wlad/Leapei in September.:think
Wladimir should have fought Pulev first, before Leapai. It's not fair that Kubrat - one of the few who actually EARNED a HW title shot - has to wait so long.
If I remember correctly, it was Sauerland and Pulev who wanted the fight only in the summer, not Wlad.
Hopefully it's someone that's semi durable and can at least give Pulev some rounds.. Denis Bakhtov would be nice... According to boxrec he has a fight on the 12th against TBA, maybe he'll just face Pulev on the 5th instead?
Pulev will gain nothing by fight TBA this point in his career. He got floored by the last tomato can he fought. Wilder would KO pulev in one round.
You only say that because Wilder is black and you hate white people and you like to diss Pulev. Stop your racial comments or get lost. Wilder has fought no one. TT, Ustinov and Dimitrenko all destroy Wilder :reggie not his fault. No one wants to fight him.
Maybe just maybe Pulev keep's fighting TBA's because of his promotional company. I have heard this fighter ducked Pulev and that fighter ducked Pulev but when i watch him fight i see nothing there to duck! Dont get me wrong Pulev is a soild fighter but i dont see anything "scary" in what he does to cause fighters to duck him. I mean he certainly is not prime Tyson or Foreman. I'm guessing his promoters want everything on there terms without the payday or exposure to back it.
Watch out, TBA must just beat Pulev and then Wlad will lobby the IBF to instill TBA as his next mandatory like he did with Leapai.
