Џошуа, the undefeated British superstar (19-0, 19 КОс), exploded onto the world stage in April when he defeated heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko via a spectacular come-from-behind knockout. In the year’s leading Fight of the Year candidate, a bout that aired live on SHOWTIME, Joshua picked up the vacant WBA heavyweight title to go along with his IBF belt. Сада, Joshua returns to take on the top-ranked IBF challenger in Pulev (25-1, 13 КОс) у 70,000 seat national stadium in Wales.
Џошуа, 27, has remarkably knocked out all of his opponents since turning pro shortly after winning gold in the 2012 Олимпијске игре. The Watford, England native won his first title with a second-round KO of defending IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin in April 2016, earning a heavyweight belt in the fewest number of fights in more than 20 године. He has since successfully defended the title three times – against Dominic Breazeale in June of 2016, Eric Molina in December and Klitschko in April.
