This pulev seem to have the experience, but AJ is younger, I hope he makes use of the advantage. I don't think AJ is at the top of the sport yet, until he faces one of Wilder or Fury, which he seems to be avoiding.
Those two are animal especially fury. He will furiously know Joshua out

No there have always been multiple associations; used to be just 2 then 3.

Whoever had all 3 was called Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.

Joshua has to defend his IBF title against Pulev.If he refuses,d belt will b taken frm him.

But in the heavyweight division, there are 5 tittles to be contested for


WBA-World Boxing Association

WBO-World Boxing Organization

WBC-World Boxing Championship

IBF-International Boxing Federation

IBO-International Boxing Organization


Hope this helps

There are four major belts for each weight division. They are the WBO, WBA, WBC and IBF title belts. Joshua, Fury and Wilder all compete in the heavyweight class. Now, if A.J and Fury were to fight, it wud termed a unification match to know the undisputed world heavyweight champion.
An Undisputed champion is a fighter who holds all the four major belts in a weight class simultaneously i.e when one fighter holds the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF titles at the same time, he is regarded as the undisputed world heavyweight champion. Currently, Joshua holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts simultaneously (which makes him a unified champion i.e a fighter who holds two or more major belts from either of the four recognised majors belts which are the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF belts) while Fury holds only the WBC belt.
Whoever should emerge as the winner between a Joshua and Fury match would be crowned as the world undisputed heavyweight champion because the winner will be holding all the four major belts simultaneously.

Bro, u guys are confusing us the more..

Someone just said if he beats Joshua, he takes all 4 belts..
No not true.

Pulev is only challenging AJ for the IBF.

If AJ refuse to fight, It will be taken away from him thereby leaving him with 3 belts.

So, why not fight for the money and possibly Win for the undisputed fight with Fury should he also defeat Wilder in another rematch

How many Associations do boxing have?
Heavy weight got 5... WBC, WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA Joshua holds the latter while fury holds the 1st...
a champion with all the belts is referred to has the undisputed heavy weight champion.
while a match that brings all d belt together is the unification match

Yes, bro.

Joshua has four belts, but one of the belts (IBO) is a minor belt.

In boxing, the winner takes all. So, if Pulev beats Joshua, he takes all the four belts just like when Ruiz beat Joshua, he took all the four belts.

Not so Brother.

The below was as at December 2019

Pulev for IBF and Usyk for WBO

And why is it that with a single fight u would win/lose three trophies or more?
Not true though.

Belts are won depending on the agreement and arrangements on ground before the fight

eg

Andy Ruiz Jr challenge AJ for all his 4 belts won and then Lost it back in the rematch

Tyson fury and Wilder fought for only the WBC belt. 1st was a Draw and Fury won the rematch in the 7th round. Another rematch is being planned

Pulev for IBF and Usyk for WBO

Listen, when the WBO mandated Joshua to fight Jarrell Miller, Miller failed a drug test, and Ruiz was called in.

When Ruiz beat Joshua on a WBO elimination bout, how come he took all of Joshua's belts and not just the WBO? How come he also took the IBO which was clearly not directly in contest?

Please, whenever Joshua fights, all his belts are always at stake, irrespective of whose mando he is fighting.

He goes to every fight with all his belts, even if it is against a mando contesting him for a single belt. And when he wins, all the belts get placed on him as a symbol that he has repossessed them.

Joshua will go with all his belts to fight Pulev. And if he loses that fight, he goes home empty-handed.
Re: Anthony Joshua Set To Fight Kubrat Pulev At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium On June 20 by ttmacoy: 5:41pm On Mar 02, 2020
At that level it's not easy to fight too often. It will cheapen the fight value as you can't be selling PPV 10 times a year, also impact ticket sales. It's also a lot difficult to set up fights at that level with the way top fighters are aligned to different tv networks, different agencies, different boxing sanctioning bodies, politics etc.

Also if you are making upwards of GBP20m a fight, why would you fight more often and increase the risk of brain damage which means you end up not enjoying your money.

You can compare it to luxury cars v non luxury cars. Normal cars will be produced in larger numbers to increase sale while luxury cars will be controlled to increase demand and maintain the aura of luxury. If they produce too much it will cheapen the brand and make it hard to sell at higher prices.

Now you say 5, others say 4..

It's 5 Bro.

AJ presently has 4 (WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO). He wants to fight Fury or Wilder for WBC

But that might not happen depending on him losing match vs pulev and others

Pulev is the mandatory IBF challenger. In addition, AJ’s other belts will be at stake.

Pulev for IBF and Usyk for WBO



Joshua will put his IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight championships at stake in his homecoming fight in London to stay on course for a massive unification fight with WBC champion Tyson Fury.

Joshua must end the hopes of his mandatory challenger Pulev - the experienced Bulgarian has lost just once in 29 fights, to Wladimir Klitschko in 2013, but has since beaten Derek Chisora and Hughie Fury
https://www.towerfm.co.uk/news/sport/joshua-vs-pulev-anthony-joshua-to-face-kubrat-pulev-on-june-20-live-on-sky-sports-box-office/

As you can see, Pulev is an IBF challenger, yet all of Joshua's other belts are at stake, and not just the IBF alone.

If Joshua loses, Pulev will claim all his belts.

The World Boxing Association (WBA)
The World Boxing Council (WBC)
The International Boxing Federation (IBF)
The World Boxing Organisation (WBO).
The International Boxing Organization (IBO)

And 17 Weight Divisions e.g. Heavyweight-Lightweight, Welterweight etc. Decided by how heavy you are.

You won't believe this. There are many belts in boxing but the MOST IMPORTANT one is WBC which Joshua does NOT have

That's why Fury is a much more recognised champion despite Joshua's four titles lipsrsealed
big lie, you need all the five major belt to become undisputed heavy weight champion. As it is, Joshua is still more recognised than fury and he can easily negotiate higher for any fight including fight against fury.
