Breaking News: Anthony Joshua To Defend His Heavyweight Title With Kubrat Pulev On 28th October

The match between Anthony Joshua and Pulev is now confirmed. The boxing heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he will defend his heavyweight title with Kubrat Pulev at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on October 28, 2017.

The heavyweight champion's first fight since his epic Wembley Stadium battle with Wladimir Klitschko is a done deal for October. Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs), the reigning IBF and WBA heavyweight champion, will put his belts on the line against Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev (25-1, 13 KOs) on October 28th at the 74,000+ capacity Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

His opponent Pulev confirmed the news on his Facebook page, and Matchroom Boxing (which promotes Joshua) has already made the official announcement today being Tuesday 5th September, 2017.

Initially, Joshua was set to rematch Klitschko in November in Las Vegas, Nevada. When Wladimir announced his retirement, Joshua’s team turned its attention to Pulev, who’s the IBF’s mandatory challenger. Joshua was initially granted a one-time exception to pursue another fight with Klitschko, whom he defeated by 11th round TKO back in April.

Pulev’s only pro defeat was by KO to Wladimir Klitschko in 2014. He’s coming off a unanimous decision win over former title challenger Kevin Johnson, and also has notable victories over Dereck Chisora and Tony Thompson. He’s a consensus top-10 heavyweight and is quite skilled, but obviously doesn’t have much in the way of punching power.
