Kubrat Pulev Waits For Rulings From The EBU and IBF

By Per Ake Persson

EBU heavyweight champ and IBF #1 contender Kubrat Pulev has been waiting for a long time for his fight for the mandatory challenger position and finally seemed set to face Tyson Fury, who however pulled out of the fight just ahead of the purse bids. Pulev is now in a position where he must wait again. At EBU level stablemate Robert Helenius was ruled to be the mandatory challenger to the winner of Pulev vs Fury - but the Nordic Nightmare is still injured and not expected back until after the summer break.
 
As for Pulev, Sauerland Event CEO Chris Meyer says that they will have to wait for the EBU and IBF say and then go from there.
