April thirteenth (next Thursday) at The Hangar in Costa Mesa. 8 rounds scheduled @ cruiserweight, headlining a card on Fite.tv Shojgreen is a jacked Brooklyn native who is the same age Pulev is - 40 years old - but only made his pro debut a little over a decade ago. Guessing maybe prison time caused the late start? Purely conjecture, as I can't find anything online to corroborate. His record is that of a total glass cannon, with thirteen of fourteen victories and three of four losses coming by way of KO. All three stoppage losses were to inexperienced no-name heavyweights, but the one time he went the distance in defeat was against his biggest step up to date, Moldovan southpaw Constantin Bejenaru. All this would make him a prohibitive underdog if he were facing Kubrat Pulev, but since it's the bum ass cousin he may actually have a puncher's chance here. Both men are coming directly off losses in 2022 - Pulev via UD to Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev in May, and Shojgreen via KO1 at the hands of Soslan "Cobra" Asbarov in December. Pulev at 6′1½″ gives up half an inch to Shojgreen.

Pulev should get rid of this Al Sands wannabe. Can't say I'm particularly invested in both, since neither will go anywhere.
Oh yeah, this is totally meaningless - unless we get the delight of laughing at Tervel getting upset by a late blooming regional level glass jawed lunk. He's the Bobby Pacquiao to Kubrat's Manny, totally useless.
