https://www.ringtv.com/514856-anthony-joshua-kubrat-pulev-heavyweight-title-bout-close-oct-28/ According to Ring Magazine, a fight between Anthony Joshua & Kubrat Pulev is nearly set. Sources say a fight deal between the two fighters is very close to being done and the fight would be scheduled for Oct 28th with Cardiff being the frontrunner to land the fight! Your thoughts?
Can't complain at two top 10 heavyweights going at it. Ortiz is a better fight but Pulev has been a mandatory for longer so deserves to come first. Hopefully Joshua continues to go about business cleaning up the division.
As soon as the fight is officially announced just wait for a whole bunch of inane child like tweets from Wilder calling out AJ.
On paper a solid fight against 2 highly ranked heavies and it was a fight people were calling for prior to Joshua facing Wlad. But I expect Joshua to have an easy nights work. It goes 6 rounds max. Pulev has nothing to hurt Joshua with, I doubt he'll win a round or even be competitive in one.
He should be stripped of his WBA belt right away. Coward Joshua taking the easy fight over no punching power Pulev instead of Ortiz. Pulev has already had a title shot and he got killed. Ortiz has earned his shot but everyone is scared to death of his punching power. IBF looks like they are going to feed Joshua easy fights.
Its a decent level opponent Its better than anything that American Deonkey has faced. I would fancy Pulev to stop AJ even at this point in Pulev's career. AJ stops Pulev inside 5-6 rounds. Still a decent name on the record for AJ to build his legacy
Pulev is not happy with the sauerlands , he said today that he wants 3,4 months to prepare and he is not here for the money but for the win. I don't think he will come to fight in october.
Pulev is a great defence. When Wlad faced him all of you were crowing about how Pulev would jab Wlad into the grave. He's still a good top 10 opponent and yes, like a previous poster stated, better than ANY of Wilder's defences, including Stiverne.
