    What approach will AJ take and what approach will Pulev take to this?

    Joshua KO 6-7 but wouldn't be surprised at all if Pulev showed up and gave him a rough night at the office.

    Pulev is a 39 year old man
    A man who was pole-axed by Wlad 6 years ago, in one of his easiest and most brutal defences of his titles.

    Why a man so old and so exposed is now coming back now for another title shot is beyond me.

    Does boxing have a death wish? Does boxing want to die off as a sport? Embarrassing fight for AJ and he should be facing better. He knows it.

    AJ to get the TKO/KO inside 6 rounds.

    Boxing is finally exciting again now that Wlad is gone and the iron grip is lifted. Boxing is also showing the true level of fighter at the top - the talent is woefully thin in this garbage era. Pulev unfortunately seems to have earned his shot and he's going to take it. AJ should get this old relic out of there within 4 rounds tops.

    Besides a decent jab I don’t see anything that can help Pulev in this fight and make it competitive. AJ should stop him inside 7.

    The 40 year old Pulev will completely level that useless bodybuilder, with one of his trademark jabs, lol keep the stretcher ringside!

    Its an absolute vintage era compared to the last one where the likes of Pianeta, Lepai and Charr were top ten fighters and got title shots. Now that was the definition of garbage. Fighters of that level would never get near the top ten in this era.

    Not Joshua's fault but it's a total joke Pulev is anywhere near a mandatory He's done absolutely nothing to earn a shot.

    He has some ok technical skills but he's slow and lacks power. He's levels below Povetkin.

    Easy peasy lemon squeezy night for Joshua. Mid round stoppage.

    At one point against Hughie Fury, Pulev got caught and you could see that with his age he can't take those shots anymore. It will be a similar finish like with AJ-Povetkin. Pulev also wasn't very active over the last 5 years and his last decent fight was against Chisora in 2016. His last two fights were 10-rounds-fights...

    AJ will KO within 7.
