Kubrat Pulev Turns Down Offer To Fight Anthony Joshua On October 28th

Pulev will fight AJ for sure for that payday and probably retire after that.Hes trying to delay the fight or smth or to find an excuse when he losses,there is no way he misses that payday,absolutely no way.There is nothing official about turning down that fight,so calm down a bit.Also Pulev cant win purse bid,Sauerland are in it for the money after all,and he has no rich friends either.

Of course he rather have AJ fight Ortiz and vacate IBF so Pulev can win that belt and then milk it for a bit vs low risk opponents but thats not happening,probably Hearn found a way to avoid getting stripped or just Ortiz wants to fight AJ for the money and will get some money to wait instead.

 

Most fighters do 2 months

 

This is the first thing that came to my mind as well.

 

Well he should be stripped of his WBA title. Ortiz is a mandatory as well and AJ has been ducking Ortiz for way to long. Ortiz should offer to fight AJ on OCT 28. What will AJ'S excuse be this time. Ortiz will expose AJ for the glass jawed, low stamina bum he is. If AJ turns him down Ortiz should be awarded the WBA belt and fight Wilder to unify the belts.

 

Ortiz would take the fight in a heartbeat. But Joshua wants no part of Ortiz because he fears his power. Thompson and Jennings both have said Ortiz his a lot harder than Wlad. When Ortiz lands that uppercut on Joshua's glass jaw he is not getting up.

 

his gonna get beat its gonna take a fighter that can boxer and move and that can take a few bursts from aj untill he gasses i think ortiz fights to the level of who his fighting and will be up for this fight or his not that good but hearn and aj wanna get as many payday as thay can that chin is getting checked again and next time he will not be given time to recover

 

Guessing AJ will try and get Ortiz first in that case. Otherwise.. could there be a window for AJ to fight Wilder, Wilder was calling him out when he was definitely tied up. I would like to see the look on Wilder's face when he gets a call from Hearn "well what do you know! There has been a change of plan.. how does October sound to you?".

 

Think you are overrating Ortiz my friend..

AJ will beat him fairly comfortably in my opinion.

 

It wouldn't surprise me one bit that a phone call from Eddie Hearn is going straight to Wilder's voice mail. ..and unanswered.

 

I was semi expecting this news. I think it's clearly evident at this point that Pulev wants no part of Joshua, he's balked at the opportunity of fighting him before as well. Hearn should look to make an Ortiz fight for the Oct 28th date.

 

Pulev should be stripped of his mando status if he's gonna be like this. He's only wasting Joshua's time, the heavyweight division and the fans in general. Give the status to someone who's actually hungry for a title shot.

And if the fight does get made, I hope Joshua knocks out Pulev dead cold for pulling this **** on him.

 

Not sure what Pulev is up to here but get Ortiz in there or even better Povetkin. If all Joshua's fights are going to be ppv let's have the best out there. (note I left out Wilder when referring to best out there)

 

but..but...Wilder wants to unify the division!!! lol

 

Styles makes fights and Ortiz is going to walk him down. Ortiz has a lot better chin and Stamina than Joshua. I promise you if Ortiz can land on Jennings he will land on Joshua. Ortiz loves to trade shots. Plus Ortiz is left handed. Joshua is the one that is overrated based on beating a glass jawed over the hill 40 year old Wlad. I also think Jarrell Miller would beat down Joshua. I've been watching a lot of Joshua's fights and he does not handle pressure fighters with power very well. A couple of years from now Joshua will be the new Bruno. That being said I still think Joshua will not fight Ortiz and give up his WBA belt.

 

In other words, Joshua vacates the WBA belt?
