    June 20th @ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. WBA Super, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles at stake - 1st defense of each by Joshua in his second reign w/ all four.

    Pulev is the IBF mandatory and rated WBA #11 (plus, though irrelevant here, WBC #14). Joshua is presumed to have a date lined up with Tyson Fury in November should they be victorious in their summer bouts against Pulev and Wilder respectively. Pulev could expect to reasonably be positioned to slide into that date for a unification match himself were he to upset AJ.

    Common opponents:

    • Wladimir Klitschko (lost to Joshua via TKO11 in 2017, defeated Pulev via KO5 in 2014)
    • Kevin Johnson (lost to Pulev via UD12 in 2017, and via TKO2 against Joshua in 2015)
    • Michael Sprott (lost to Pulev via RTD9 in 2012, and to Joshua via TKO1 in 2014)
    • Matt Skelton (lost to Joshua via TKO in 2014, and to Pulev via KO4 in 2010)

    Joshua ko maybe round 5. At least these not as big of a talent gap in this match up compared to last weekend's fight!

    Wait you mean Joshua vs. bargain bin Klitschko? Joshua inside 7 although if Pulev goes for it you never know... This is it for him so he might just go Kamikaze and either a) score a huge upset or b) get taken out even earlier

    Far likelier b. Hard-charging isn't his game, and we saw that Joshua knows how to play matador in Ruiz II.

    Yeah I agree. But he did give it a go against Wlad and while he got decimated he did have a few moments. It COULD turn out to be a better scrap than expected.

    Even that date is subject to change; if Wilder opts to not initialize the second rematch with Fury, then Joshua is going to unify with his fellow Brit in August or September - with no Pulev fight in June and likely no tuneup before then.

    The most entertaining thing about this fight is how is Eddie going to try and convince us Pulev is a killer opponent.

    I sense an upset, I can feel a tingling sensation that the upset is near, I can absolutely feel it

    Wilder-Fury 3 in July, so everything should align for a year end unification bout.
