Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev confirmed for October 28 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium
Anthony Joshua has vowed to give his fans a “spectacular night” after his clash with Kubrat Pulev was finally confirmed for October 28 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
The unbeaten Joshua, who is 19-0, said: “October 28 can’t come soon enough.
“I’ve been eager to get back in the ring since Wembley and now we’re confirmed and ready.
I’ll be locked away, focusing on fight No 20 for the next eight weeks. I’m excited to experience the atmosphere in a sold-out Principality Stadium and aim to give the fans a spectacular night.”
The undefeated Pulev, 36, is the IBF’s mandatory challenger and insists he will not be Joshua’s latest fall guy.
“Anthony is a formidable opponent,” said the Bulgarian. “We will not hug and hold, we will not run – we will stand and fight.
“His style fits mine perfectly and in boxing, styles make fights. My preparation will be very intense, and I will be perfectly ready when I enter the ring so that he will have no chance to beat me.”
