"I WILL NOT STEP DOWN" PULEV WARNS JOSHUA

Kubrat Pulev warns Anthony Joshua  he will not step aside for tyson fury bout

Kubrat Pulev is an inescapable challenger for Joshua's IBF title which was later postponed because of the Tyson fury and joshua bout.

When it was announced that the fight was postponed, Pulev was twiked into stepping aside to allow Anthony Joshua take on Tyson fury in a unification bout immediately boxing is set to resume, as it has been in halt due to the outbreak of the pandemic.

"i can;t understand why. we are still postponing instead of fixing a date and venue and getting to work?" he added "enough is enough. I can;t wait to win this fight."

"i see how people are afraid of  me and are to face someone else before me. that's not how a real world champion should act."

Pulev has been arranged to fight joshua for the IBF title twice, first in 2017 but withdrew because of injury, and later was also in position to face Anthony when he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr in june 2019.

It appears that the both Tyson fury and Anthony Joshua will need to wait and win their respective fights but neither Wilder nor Pulev is willing to take up the step-down money.

Pulev suggested that Joshua would have to vacate his title if he refuses to defend it against it's mandatory challenger.

Pulev said "i did it once when i didn't have to do it for Joshua to have his second match against Andy Ruiz Jr. Everything was against IBF's  rules but i compromised."

A year has passed and they always have a reason to postpone, not to fight against me, there are two options. you either fight or vacate the title."
