    It is being reported. Not sure if I am allowed to link it, so I won't.

    I imagine they will match the winner against the winner of Wardley-Huni to replace Usyk as WBA boss when he retires.

    Would've been a good fight 5 years ago.

    Would have leaned heavily towards Hunter then. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he lost to the significantly older grandpa Pulev.

    I put links to the website/rumour source whenever a fight is rumoured or announced. I didn't know it might not be allowed, I thought it was just for illegal streams and that.

    Bit surprised Pulev didnt 'sell' his 'belt' to a bigger name.

    Pulev is pretty old at 44 and wasn't anything that good really. I think Hunter takes this via decision in an ugly dull fight.

    If its in Bulgaria they may give all the close rounds to Pulev and rob Hunter.

    I’d be very surprised if this fight happens.
    Pulev will price himself out for a start.
    If it does happen and Hunter can’t beat old man Pulev then it’s time to hang them up.

    Pulev much better prime for prime but today hunter wins. Pillowv looked atrocious and extremely slow last time out

    I would have thought Pulev would have "sold" it to Ituama for a payday so Ituama could break Mike Tyson's record. Because I'm confident that Ituama would blast out Pulev in a round or two.

    Its good to see at least some fights being made while the titles are tied up with Usyk/Dubois. These guys are both past their prime, though Hunter isn't that old he hasn't had a proper match in years.

    Tbf though I will still watch it, I'm curious to see what either has left.
