Despite expecting AJ and his agent to chase the big money in a duel against Deontay Wilder or Andy Ruiz Jr, Eddie Hearn announced to The Sun that the next opponent of the champion is indeed the Bulgarian.
"I've been away from my country all year and I'm already experiencing nostalgia. I want to please my fans in London, they help me a lot and it's a lot harder for me without their support. Protecting my trophies in front of my own audience will be a great experience."
"It would be better against another Brit but, if not, I will follow my mandatory and crack on that way. The work begins again because around March I’ll be defending those titles again. I’m already focusing on my next fight," Joshua said. and Hearne confirmed.
The most likely location is Tottenham Hotspur's wonderful 60,000-seat stadium, which is expected to be sold out.
Pulev was supposed to face Joshua in 2017, but pulled out of the match due to an injury.
We at sportalaxy hope that this time there will be a match and we wish success to our representative!
