Despite all the pranks, there will be a Pulev-Joshua match

 

 

No matter how dodgy and inaccessible they are, Anthony Joshua's camp will have no other option but to play with Kubrat Pulev. This was made clear by the statement of the promoter of the British Eddie Hearn.

On the eve of 2020, the Cobra-style impersonator attacked the Cobra and also announced that if he did not play by their rules, there would be no match for the match. The manager has always argued that his client has another option to fight if he does not understand with Pulev, who is a mandatory contender for the IBF world title.

Hearn has always maintained that Joshua can fight Alexander Usik, who is a mandatory contender on the WBO. Things are dramatically easier there because the impresario looks after the rights of both boxers. And, as he is dubbed in the boxing world, "he won't have a hard time getting along."

Now, however, it is clear that the Ukrainian himself prefers to conduct another duel in the professional ring before meeting the British heavyweight dominant. Therefore, Hearn is forced by his client to arrange a match for him with Derek Chisora in mid-March, and only then will he think of a match with Joshua.

This drastically limits the options for the Briton, who is unable to fight another opponent as long as there are compulsory contenders ahead of him. In order to fight another, he has to vacate his titles, and despite all the threats of the impresario, this is not on the agenda so far, because the schedule of other big names in the category is full. So Joshua, whether or not he wants to, will have to fight Kubrat.

"Alexander Usik is a very sober guy. He wants to have another big duel before he faces Joshua. So now we have a match with Derek Chisora. We don't have to think that Usik-Joshua is guaranteed. Anthony can fall from Pulev, he can get injured, he can free his belt, so there are many chances. "

"But I'm sure one day we will see a fight between the two. It would be a great match, a colossal event, between two of the greatest boxers at the moment. battles, "Hearn said.
