Pulev hasn't decisively lost to anyone not named Klitschko or Joshua. May not always be the best to watch but he's a consistent workman-like fighter who's carved out a very solid career for himself.
I think he UDs Charr or stops him late. This is Chisora III but on a lower level. And I thought he won both of those fights.
Seeing the talks of Pulev vs Charr made me feel like a student in the year of 2015 all over again, haha.
Imagine if he somehow strings together a good enough streak to earn a 3rd mandatory shot against a unified champion.
What I want to know is ... assuming Pulev prevails, who does he fight in 2025? If Saudi's want to buy it ... maybe Jalolov.
Yeah I prolly came across a bit harsh toward him in my post, which I didn't really mean to do. Don't find him particularly entertaining, but he's far from the worst I've ever seen and I'll always admire a boxer who stays pretty consistently active like he does. Him getting elevated to WBA champion in 2025 would be odd considering the circumstances, but it's no worse than guys like Bermane Stiverne or Charles Martin being beltholders. Hell of a lot better than Charr getting it. Least with Pulev we know there'd be activity! Funny thing is, just last year he fought Andrzej Wawrzyk too. Only got into boxing a few years back, but Pulev's recent fights are sure giving me a taste of what it would've been like if I got into it a decade earlier
I actually wouldn't mind Chisora 3 in one of those Riyadh cards, the winner would probably deserve a title eliminator, as crazy as It sounds.

Even though this is bridgerweight news: Muslim Gadzhimagomedov will face Leon Harth on October 17th in Russia. Okolie vs Lerena purse bids have again been delayed, this time with one week. Seems like it could land on the Usyk-Fury II card.
I was very underwhelmed when I saw Harth as an opponent so I forgot to post lol. Id love to see Lerena chin Okolie.
