Anthony Joshua labelled scared and arrogant as Kubrat Pulev looks to Tyson Fury fight
- 4 years ago
Anthony Joshua is set to defend his heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev in December.
Kubrat Pulev feels he is being overlooked by Anthony Joshua and has labeled the British world champion as arrogant, as he prepares to go to war in London later this year. The pair were set to face off in June before the COVID-19 pandemic called sport to a halt but now there is light at the end of the tunnel, with the bout being planned for December.
It will be the second time that Joshua, who has not boxed on British soil since September 2018, prepares to defend his belts against Pulev.
The two heavyweights were set to face off in Cardiff in 2017 at the Principality Stadium before the IBF mandatory was ruled out of the contest with a shoulder injury.
Carlos Takam stepped in at late notice and gave AJ a tough night following a controversial tenth-round stoppage.
Now Pulev has vowed to set the record straight and end Joshua's hopes of an all-British undisputed clash with Tyson Fury, which has already been preliminary agreed on initial terms.
