Britain's Hughie Fury will face Kubrat Pulev in a final eliminator for Anthony Joshua's IBF world heavyweight title in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, on Saturday, October 27.

 

Fury, the cousin of former unified heavyweight king Tyson, is eyeing a second world title shot having been outpointed by former WBO titlist Joseph Parker in September 2017.

 

But between him and the winner of Joshua's September showdown with Alexander Povetkin stands hometown fighter Pulev.

Very interesting bout. Both fighters are more of a "boxer" type, so we may see a jab battle in this one. Very hard to pick a favorite. I'd favor Pulev a bit, but Fury's lot younger and looked promising in last two fights. Bulgarian has quite a lay-off, though.

Fury has it very complicated against Pulev and that the Bulgarian is far from his best level. Neither of them is a rival for Joshua

Pulev was a decent fighter, but he relied on skills and stamina that he no longer has at 39 years old.

 

Obviously, the plan is for Fury to dance around, do nothing, and then claim a BS decision.

 

Same old same old .....
