Joshua will look to inch one step closer to a heavyweight unification bout with Tyson Fury when he faces Pulev in London tonight.

After avenging his shocking loss to Andy Ruiz and regaining the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight championships, Anthony Joshua will return to the ring today to face the challenge of Kubrat Pulev. A win for Joshua would move him one step closer to a mega-fight with WBC champion Tyson Fury to unify all four recognized world championships.

Pulev is getting what is likely his final shot to become world champion. In 2014, he suffered a knockout loss against Wladimir Klitschko in a bout for the IBF title. He has since won eight consecutive fights to earn his latest title shot. At 39 years old, the clock is ticking on Pulev, but the odds remain heavily in favor of Joshua retaining his titles.

There's a lot of action expected on tonight in London. Be sure you're following this thread for coverage of the event.

Anthony Joshua and Kubrat Pulev had to be separated by security at weigh-in...

After Pulev weighed in (239.7 lbs), Joshua entered the room and joined his opponent on stage. As he prepared to step on the scales Pulev started shouting at him from across the stage, prompting Joshua to move closer to hear what he was saying.

Once Joshua weighed in (240.8lbs), the pair moved to the centre of the stage for their head to head. More shouting ensued before a commotion from the back of the room where Pulev’s younger brother (pro boxer Tervel) pushed past the barrier to join his brother on stage.

Matchroom security eventually separated the pair who then decided to “fist pump”, but even that took an aggressive turn — they clashed fists three times, inputting more power into each one.

Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that “Pulev just kept saying, ‘Tomorrow, tomorrow’ prompting Joshua to reply: ‘What do you mean tomorrow?’. Pulev said, ‘Tomorrow I’m going to beat you and show you’. Pulev kept talking so Joshua said, ‘Come over here and say it’.

“Pulev said again, ‘Tomorrow I'll beat you’ and AJ said, ‘What? You? Disrespect me and I’ll show you.’ Then he looked at Pulev and said, ‘You’re a p****’.

“In the end, Pulev said, ‘I respect you’ and that dampened it. But then he added, ‘Tomorrow I will beat you, I will finish you, I will end you. You know I’m better than you’.”
