Kubrat Pulev Turns Down Offer To Fight Anthony Joshua On October 28th

[lolpz]

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.

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

[NahMean]

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.

OK so no more excuses Ortiz should be next.

Thank you Pulev. Get everything right before you fight that overrated, stiff ass, PED using, wannabe thug.

[Raggamuffin]

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.

Pulev should be in shape now, considering he's been waiting for his title shot for a while.

No way should he need more than two months.

[MDPopescu]

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...

[sicko]

WOW! WTF? Well make the Ortiz fight!

IBF Rankings is so ****! They will likely order Carlos Takam vs Christain Hammer in a Eliminator for a new Mandatory

[All in]

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.
