On Saturday night in Fresno, California, Kubrat "The Cobra" Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) retained is mandatory status under the IBF, when he won a ten round unanimous decision over Detroit-based veteran Rydell Booker (26-3, 13 KOs). The scores were 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92.

Easy money for retirement!?

[Boksfan]

Oh stop it Kubrat, if they vacate the belt you will fight whoever they tell you to.

[sportbuddha]

To be fair, he has been waiting for a very long time, let him have a go.

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

No one wants to watch you fight. Go away.

[GlassJoey]

I wonder who he’d prefer?

I’m guessing the winner ducks Usyk before Pulev

[Southpaw010]

No he hasn't. He had the fight in late 17 when he pulled out and takam replaced him.

[Adamsc151]

It's a fair enough demand, he's been waiting the most out of the alphabet mandatory challengers (unless you count Whyte's circus with WBC and B-samples). Usyk should have to wait longer after only just stepping up, and I thought Joshua-Ruiz 1 was supposed to cover off the WBA mandatory after Miller's failed tests.
Let's just hope Pulev doesn't get a poorly elbow this time, or give some other "twisted sock" excuse.

[YoungManRumble]

Must you? That certainly wasn't a world level performance against Rydell booker. Despite whatever mandatory status he may have I cannot see this going well for him.

Please. Stop with this "one of the titles must be vacated" brainwashing! No, one of the titles won't be vacated unless the winner chooses to vacate. Fighting one organisation's mandatory then the other one can be worked out easily. Or a unification with WBC would also be allowed; all sanctioning organisations agreed to this previously.
