Pulev is giving a pressconference in Sofia as we speak. His next opponent will be Ruslan Chagaev. The fight is scheduled for 24 august (date not 100% confirmed), most probably in Germany.
this confimrs Wilder will not be fighting Chagaev next Chagaev is shot, overweight, but still has the skills, i'll be interested to see if the much bigger Pulev is able to stop him, shame it's not Fury
Why the hell is he fighting Chagaev? He needs to fight Jennings for the IBF number one. Chagaev is trash. I knew Pulev would fight another Euro stiff. He will just keep fighting stiffs until Wlad gives him a fight. I hope Chagaev beats Pulev.
Is this some form of eliminator? Pulev was supposed to fight in an IBF eliminator next and both Fury and Adamek ducked him.
Chag has been outta the game for a while, hasn't he? I thought he was done with fighting. But, he's not that old yet, and may work himself back into another good payday/beating by Wlad or Vitali.................. Good, tough opponent/test for Pulev.
Pulev should have done EVERYTHING in his power to fight Chisora when he was looking for a high ranked opponent after Wilder pulled out for Wife beating reasons :good Chisora will fight ANYONE and the higher ranked they are the more motivated he is. Malik Scott got there instead.
Good point but they can't risk there hero Pulev against Chisora because Pulev will lose. SO he will stick with Euro stiffs like Chagaev. Chagaev has been hyped for years on this forum yet he has beat no one. Pulev is on the same Level as Chagaev. There grooming Pulev so there true love Wlad can face him and have another easy non risky fight. It ashame heavyweight boxing has been taken over by these stormfront members.
