Bulgarian Boxer Kubrat Pulev insists on challenging Anthony Joshua for the World Heavyweight title. He went ahead to tell Anthony Joshua to either fight him or lose the title.
The fight between Kubrat Pulev and Anthony Joshua slated for June 20 was postponed, and this has led to talks saying Pulev was paid to step aside so Joshua could challenge Tyson Fury for all four heavyweight belts.
Pulev said: “I can’t understand why we are postponing the fight rather than fixing a date and venue so we could get to work.”
“Enough is enough. I can’t wait to win this fight. I see how people are scared of me and are trying to face someone else before me. That’s really not how a world champion should act,” Pulev added.

Kubrat Pulev should have fought Anthony Joshua in 2017, but he got injured and had to withdraw before the fight.
