they are wasting little time with pulev...4 fights & already in vs Skelton...he must be very talented.I guess his military obligations prevented him turning pro.he must be in his 30's like many european heavyweights.late starter being fast tracked.

Kubrat Pulev is age 28.

I'm happy they could find a suitable replacement for Platov on short notice, so there's still three interesting heavyweight fights on this card. Matt Skelton had been training to fight Derek Chisora in February, but was replaced by Danny Williams.

Noooooooooooo

Matt Skelton is old and fading, but he's still better than stiffs like Zeller and Rhodes. He's not a bad replacement for Platov with less than a week's notice.
