Joshua vs Pulev set for December 12th

Although there is loads of speculation and rumours Antony Joshua would be taking on The Gypsy King Tyson Fury, it is now clear that he will defend his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles against my the Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev.

Joshua and Pulve were set to fight each other before, but due to injuries and surrounding circumstances such as COVID-19 the pair has been delayed to square off in the boxing arena. However, the much-anticipated fight between two elite boxers in their prime is once again on track.

Eddie Hearn gave a prompt potential date for the event but was yet to confirm a venue. It’s safe to say the world title match-up will take place this year and based on what Eddie Hearn suggested it will likely take place in the UK.

Hearn said, “Is there a set date for Pulev-Joshua? Yes, it will be December 12. We are just getting that over the line. Hopefully, you will get an announcement next week.”
