Watched him live. He looks rugged and put some pressure on his opponent. He comes to fight, but I definitely know what to do with him.

What’s it feel like when someone like Floyd Mayweather calls you the ‘future of the sport?’ Se sent molt bé. I worked hard for people to acknowledge me in the sport and compare me to the top fighters in boxing right now. Floyd is like a mentor to me. Both Floyds are. I just want to keep training hard an showing everybody that I really am the future of boxing. I don’t feel any pressure to perform perfectly every time though. I don’t believe in pressure. That’s all in the head. I’m just going to go in there and showcase my skills. Aquesta nit, portes s'obren a les 6Primer ministre i la primera baralla està en 7Primer ministre.

NEW YORK – Setembre 21, 2017 - SHOWTIME Sports® will close out a banner year of world-class boxing with back-to-back Saturdays featuring heavyweight world championship fights live on SHOWTIME. The network announced today coverage of unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua’s upcoming WBA and IBF world title defense against top-rated mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev on Dissabte, Octubre 28 en viu per SHOWTIME from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Gal·les.
La Octubre 28 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will be the first of two heavyweight world title fights airing live on SHOWTIME on consecutive Saturdays, with WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder set to defend his title against undefeated contender Luis Ortiz on Dissabte, Novembre 4. Both main event bouts will air live on SHOWTIME as the network concludes a robust 2017 boxing campaign that will have featured 22 world championship fights, 16 bouts matching fellow undefeated fighters, three world title unifications, three world title rematches and the emergence of three bright young stars (Errol Spence Jr., Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez) as they earned their first world titles.
With the addition of Joshua vs. Pulev, four of the consensus top-five heavyweights in the world will compete on SHOWTIME in consecutive weeks. Joshua vs. Pulev and Wilder vs. Ortiz will be the ninth and 10º heavyweight world championship bouts to air live on SHOWTIME in the last two years.
“There’s so much to be excited about in the sport of boxing, and it all comes to a fever pitch on consecutive Saturdays this fall on SHOWTIME,"Va dir Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresident Executiu i Gerent General de SHOWTIME Sports. “This has been a great year for boxing. More specifically, it has been a great year for SHOWTIME boxing. There’s no better way to end it than with two major heavyweight world championship events. We are proud to be in business with the two biggest punchers in the sport, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, and the rest of the talented and hungry heavyweight challengers of today.”
Josué, the undefeated British superstar (19-0, 19 KOs), 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. Ara, Joshua returns to take on the top-ranked IBF challenger in Pulev (25-1, 13 KOs) al 70,000 seat national stadium in Wales.
Josué, 27, has remarkably knocked out all of his opponents since turning pro shortly after winning gold in the 2012 Jocs Olímpics. 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 any. He has since successfully defended the title three times – against Dominic Breazeale in June of 2016, Eric Molina in December and Klitschko in April.
Pulev, de Sofia, Bulgària, will be making his second attempt at winning the IBF world championship, having lost to Klitschko in his first try in November 2014. Després d'això, his lone loss, Pulev quickly rebounded and became a two-time European champion with a win over Dereck Chisora. He also holds wins over two former world title foes of Klitschko in Samuel Peter and Kevin Johnson.
Joshua vs. Pulev is promoted by Matchroom Sport. Fewer than 200 tickets remain on sale viawww.StubHub.co.uk priced at £300.

Es va consolidar la seva posició en la divisió amb victòries sobre contendents veterans Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson i Malik Scott i és el n. 1-ranked contender by the WBC.
Si guanya Ortiz, es convertirà en el primer boxejador nascut cubà a guanyar un campionat mundial de pes pesat.
