Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev fight
OFF as Carlos Takam steps in at short
notice
ANTHONY JOSHUA will fight Carlos Takam on
October 28 after Kubrat Pulev sensationally pulled
out injured just 12 days before the Cardiff
heavyweight clash.
Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev has been thrown
into jeopardy
Bulgarian challenger Pulev picked up a shoulder
injury in training and was told by doctors he would
not be fit for the Principality Stadium fight on
Saturday, October 28.
WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Joshua will
now defend against Frenchman Takam, who was
next in line in the IBF rankings for a mandatory
shot.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn desperately tried
to keep the show on with almost 80,000 fans
expected at the Cardiff stadium.
They secured the signature of Takam just hours
after Pulev pulled out and Joshua’s team agreed to
the late change.
Pulev had suffered a shoulder injury during a
sparring session in his training camp in Germany.

His management team Sauerland did not inform
fight promoter Eddie Hearn straight away as they
hoped the fight would go ahead.
British fighter Joshua was set to face mandatory
challenger Pulev to defend his WBA and IBF
heavyweight titles.
It will be the London-born boxer’s first bout since
he beat Wladimir Klitschko by knockout in a
thrilling fight at Wembley in April.
Pulev had earned a shot at Joshua by winning 25
of his 26-career fights, 13 of which were knochouts.

fight

His only defeat came against Klitschko in 2014.
But Takam will now take to the ring with 70,000
tickets already sold.
The stadium in the Welsh capital can hold 78,000
people - and it is expected to sell out as the build
up intensifies this week.
Joshua has won all of his 19 professional fights by
knockout and is well on track to become the
greatest heavyweight champion of all time.
