Here's some short radio interview with Kubrat Pulev after the news about Klitschko choosing Boytsov as his next opponent was confirmed:
Pulev: I am training in Germany. I will have a fight on Dec 14 in Neubrandenburg, Germany[this is the Braehmer vs Oliveira card]. I still don't know who my opponent will be, but we hope to know for sure by the end of the week.
Question: What are your expectations about your opponent? Who might he be?
Pulev: I don't know, I've said it before - whoever they put in front of me I will fight, I am not concerned whoever it is.
Question: What do you put on the line in this fight?
Pulev: The IBF International title and the IBF mandatory spot for Klitschko title fight.
Question: Your promoters at Sauerland announced that not you but your stablemate Dennis Boytsov will be the next opponent for Wladimir Klitschko?
Pulev: It was expected for them to choose Boytsov. Not only don't they choose the hardest opponent(myself), but they opt for the easiest option they have. I expect them not to give me the shot before September-October next year.
Question: Have you fought Boytsov?
Pulev: We've had sparrings. I think even he knows that he doesn't have a chances against me.
