    Earlier this month Pulev confirmed he will fight either Miller or Whyte.

    This sucks I like both.

    Isn't Pulev-Miller more likely tho? DW WBC mandatory, why would he risk vs KP. Does Wilder have a voluntary defense against DB?

    I don't know... there were 5 different rumours about that case.

    Good fight. Also increases the chance of getting Joshua vs Wilder soon, obviously Hearn's given up on trying to make Whyte vs Wilder next.

    This one is about two things: how much does Pulev want it, and how much has Whyte improved? Because peak Pulev wins a decision behind that jab, however this is not peak Pulev and it's in the UK.

    The opponent hasn't been announced so it mightn't even be Pulev

    And not to mention a 15 month layoff.

    Pulev at 75% beats Whyte. No question. The version who showed up vs. Chisora wasn't peak but still a top 10 HW with more than enough in the tank to beat most guys.

    I see no evidence of a massive decline. He looked pretty uninspiring against Kingpin and Peter but the same could be said about the period in-between Klitschko and Chisora.

    Whyte will make more vs. Pulev than Wilder makes vs. Brezeale.

    Hopefully if its Pulev this puts the whole Whyte is a challenger BS nonsense to bed. Its mainly being pushed by a bunch of AJ fan boys who have Hearns tackle dangling in their mouths 24/7

    Interesting fight

    I hope Pulev doesnt get robbed if it goes to the scorecards.

    I dont see a KO and this could be a boring fight. Pulev has to bring it to White

    ****ing fair play Whyte. Utterly unnecessary to fight a skilled, tricky opponent in an IBF final eliminator when you're already on the verge of a shot with the WBC.

    I sincerely hope he's picked this fight at the opportune time and pulls it off, but will be picking a Pulev UD in a bit of a stinker. I think Kubrat still was enough left to jab Whyte's head off.
