He was outboxed by and lost to both of them imo, but that doesn't have to with how durable or powerful he is and I do think he has improved a bit since the Joshua fight. If anything the Mansour fight is more evidence for his grit, he took a lot of punishment.
DiBella Entertainment has signed top Uzbekistan prospects, heavyweight Bakhodir Jalolov (1-0, 1 KO) and the soon-to-be pro debuting junior lightweight Elnur Abduraimov, to a co-promotional agreement with Fight Promotions Inc.

“Until a few days ago nobody had spoken to me about a fight on a particular date,” Pulev said in a statement. “I learned that from the media. My promoters Kalle and Nisse Sauerland are amazing people but we are rarely in contact and not to mention me confirming a fight with Dillian Whyte. “I do want to fight with him and I think that he is a perfect opponent for me. But around every fight there are a lot of things that need to be agreed on before setting a date. “It is getting pretty interesting in heavyweight division. I read everywhere all kinds of publications, thoughts, analyses of media, managers, promoters and fans of boxing for my upcoming match. Regarding being the official contender of IBF everything is great and I am happy that I will be in the ring again very soon.”
