6′ 4 ½ Pulev, fighting at home in Sofia, بلغاريا, captured the vacant WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title in his last fight this past December, in which former world champion Samuel Peters (36-5) retired after the third round.

أيار الماضي, Pulev won a 12-round split decision over Dereck Chisora (25-5) to capture the European heavyweight championship. The 35-year-old Pulev has won four in a row since he suffered the only loss of his professional career, by way of a fifth-round knockout in 2014, to then-International Boxing Federation (اتحاد الملاكمة العالمي) بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل فلاديمير كليتشكو (62-3).

Pulev was a celebrated amateur boxer who represented Bulgaria at the 2008 دورة الالعاب الاولمبية في بكين, الصين. Currently rated No. 9 في العالم من قبل WBA, Pulev can position himself for another world title shot with an impressive victory over Johnson, the battle-tested veteran fighting out of Lawrenceville, جورجيا, الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

“My number one goal is to fight for the World title and on April 28,” Pulev commented, “I will take another step towards achieving this goal. I’m already training hard to prove I am worthy to fight again for the heavyweight crown.

“Johnson is a tough opponent. You must only look at his resume to tell this will be a real challenge. He has shared the ring with many World class fighters like Vitali Klitschko and Anthony Joshua. I know I will need to be at my best to beat him, but with the help of my coach Ulli Wegner and the support of the Bulgarian people, I’m confident my hand will be raised, and we will be able to celebrate another great night for Bulgarian boxing and another step towards me fulfilling my dream of becoming the Heavyweight Champion of the World.’

جونسون, 37, has served as a dangerous “البواب” in the heavyweight division during his 14-year professional career. He’s fought reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) بطل الوزن الثقيل أنتوني جوشوا – the only fighter to stop Johnson – former unified world heavyweight titlist تايسون غضب, العالم السابق لقب منافسه مانويل شار and current European champion المطرقة المسيحية.

Johnson’s most notable wins have been against world title challengers بروس سيلدون (TKO5), Alex Leapai (TKO9) و Albert Sosnowski (SDEC3 in Prizefighter Tournament).

في 2009, Johnson lost his lone world title fight by unanimous decision to undefeated WBC champion فيتالي كليتشكو, extending him the full 12-rounds.

Additional PPV fights are scheduled on FITE TV on a weekly basis.
