Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

A few days ago, promoters Fresa Oquendo (37-8, 24 KO) announced that they are in contact with Kubrat Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) team on organizing the fight for the vacant "normal" WBA heavyweight belt. Bulgarian Kalle Sauerland, however, ensures that his athlete is determined to get into the ring with WBA and IBF champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KO) from a duel with which he "fell out" due to injury.

Pulev did not want to give up the fight with Joshua. He was angry that I recalled the fight, but I did not recall her, he was injured and could not box. He wanted to fight himself, "Sauerland told Boxing News.

Kubrat was replaced in the role of rival Anthony Joshy eventually replaced Carlos Takam. Bulgarian in the latest IBF ranking is ranked second. The first place is not occupied.

I think he might be found out when fights somone like Takam or even sooner. In his latest interview Dychko,said that his last opponent was his toughest opponent in pro and amateur ranks,shocking claim really. I'm still 50/50 on his chances to win title.

 

Both Soltby and Gorman in shape ahead of the fight:

The EBU have appointed Swedish heavyweights Otto Wallin, # 10 in the EU ratings, and Adrian Granat, # 11 in the very same ratings, as co-challengers for the since long vacant EU title. However, if you by the EBU rules Granat is not eligible until he gets a win under his belt and he aims to get it December 22 in Hamburg.

The EU title have been vacant since Agit Kabayel relinquished the title about a year ago to go for the EBU championship.
