Not just that Pulev looked good against a in shape Chisora, unlike Whyte who fought a out of shape Chisora.
He turned down 3 career high offers to fight Joshua in December according to Hearn, more money than he would get than the 25% for being the IBF mandatory.
Pulev was very arrogant after the Wlad loss and kept saying he's better than Wlad and Wlad just got lucky. Truth is Pulev didn't use the fight to learn and grow; he just went downhill a bit form then.
I could do without the fake news speculation, what's the source? Pulev isn't a threat. He absolutely did not look good against Chisora who's a gatekeeper. Ducked AJ, he knows his level. If he's going to pick an American, Bryant Jennings is his best bet. Can fight him in Bulgaria.
He mentioned that the fight could take place in Bulgaria. The source is Kubrat Pulev lol http://www.sportal.bg/news.php?news=651810 idk if you can open it or translate it but there is a video too, Kubrat Pulev said all that on a press conference , I just translated it for you guys.
He looked awful against Chisora, lots of holding and rabbit punching. Whyte fought a much better and more motivated version.
Fairly certain Pulev got well in excess of 3 mil for the Wlad fight and I cant see Hearn throwing up that type dough for such a risky defense.
Pulev is the type of fighter that makes most look bad.Hes frustrating to fight more than anything. The true way to defeat him is simply punch his lights out,via Wlad Klitchko style or else he will drag the fight on and on and use his ring savvy to out point you or wear you out in later rounds. If its a non tall power puncher expect the same fight as chisora one.Pulev is very hard to land a clean shot on otherwise. Whyte fought much better trained Chisora! That match has little to do with other who may take this fight. Martin would be interesting.
