Pulev thinks he's in a position to dictate the terms to Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. He says he wants a minimum of 4 months to get ready to fight AJ therefore the fight should be taking place late December or January 2018.
Excellent news!!! This was a SHT fight anyway!
It was. Trinket belt holders like Joshua don't run the hvw division or boxing because they're a draw in ther U.K. Hearn and Joshua think that they can throw money at people and make them get in line and ****, lmao. That's why I don't like Joshua right now. When Joshua fights Wilder, then he will have earned my respect.
All good things come to those who wait. Fate will make Joshua Wilder happen lol. The stiff one can't hide from Wilder any longer. They thought that they could freeze Wilder out. Soon Joshua's fans will turn on him and say "fight Wilder", lmao.
I agree! Joshua's fans are scared of Kubrat, they want to fight the man without a proper training camp instead of meeting him in peak condition.
I find it very amusing that they are this anxious after two weeks of negotiating but are in no hurry for a Deontay Wilder unification -- that can wait another two years as far as they are concern! but Deontay wants it now! the SQUAD wants it now! we tired of waiting on this bum!

It was a good fight. Pulev is a top 10 heavyweight.. His only loss was to a Prime and dangerous Klitschko who fought the best fight of his career that night.
But if this means Ortiz is next that's a better fight. But Pulev is a decent fighter.
Either guy.. They both lose to AJ.. aint a single heavyweight that can beat AJ currently.
Sounds like when Povetkin kept delaying the Wilder fight. We all know why he was really delaying the fight. Pulev might be delaying for the same reasons.
For sure. Why else turn down what should be a dream fight.
WOW! WTF? Well make the Ortiz fight!
IBF Rankings is so SH1T! They will likely order Carlos Takam vs Christain Hammer in a Eliminator for a new Mandatory :nonono:
I hope IBF steps in and either gives AJ a voluntary, or tells Pulev to F off.
IBF already did that -- they previously asked Joshua to fight Wlad until Dec 02, in order to give Pulev his shot after that... But then Wlad retired... and maybe Pulev was expecting this fight to take place sometime early in 2018...

Remember just after AJ beat Vlad Pulev and his team were threatening AJ will get stripped if they didn’t fight Pulev next.. They didn’t want AJ to rematch Vlad and they wanted the fight AJ next ASAP.
Now all a sudden they aren’t ready and need more time.
Oh **** off Pulev. What the hell have you been doing since April. Or since the Chisora fight for that matter? Fighting old washed up bums while you wait for your mandatory shot and now you're begging for more time when there's a bunch of people in line behind you wanting a shot. IBF should tell him to fight or go to hell
You're all just making excuses for Pulev. The IBF needs to enforce Pulev to fight Joshua, if not, he loses his mandatory position and its down the list to the next guy.
Ortiz is lined up to fight Wilder already. Why make Joshua have to fight every single guy back to back when all these guys can be fighting each other? It's like you guys want to see Joshua beat so bad or something. He's coming off a tough fight.
I would MUCH rather see Wilder-Ortiz, Joshua-Pulev, and then the winners fight each other.
Give Joshua the weaker Pulev because he just fought a big tough fight against Wladimir. Give Wilder the stronger Ortiz because he hasn't fought a big tough fight against a guy of Ortiz' caliber yet(Joshua is coming off of a fight like this.)
You guys all forget sometimes, everything has to make sense.
Yep. Nah I just clicked on the button that said "Translate" lol
Lol, thanks for informing us of the latest. Pulev is a idiot, I know his name has pul in it, but he has no pull in this matter against Joshua. AJ is the man, not him. He better recognize.
I think Pulev is a legit top ten guy unlike a lot of mandatory's in boxing these days, but f#ck him then.
Let Luis Ortiz get the October fight & Pulev can get the fight after that & can start training 4mos before that date if he feels like it, but lets not keep Joshua out of the ring cuz this cat thinks 2 extra months is gonna help him. I'm not sure the result would be any different if he spent 2 years preparing for Joshua.
I definitely agree bro
