Anthony Joshua to fight Kubrat Pulev on October 28 in Cardiff for IBF & WBA heavyweight world title

British professional boxer Anthony Joshua will fight Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev for the IBF world heavyweight title on October 28 in Cardiff.

The champ born to Nigerian parents had been told he must face the IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev before December 2 or risk being stripped of that belt.

36-year-old Kubrat Pulev, who has just one loss in his 26 fights, claims Joshua has “no chance” against him.
