 6′ 4 ½ Pulev, fighting at home in Sofia, Bulgaria, 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. ಕಳೆದ ಮೇ, 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 (IBF) ಹೆವಿವೇಯ್ಟ್ ವಿಶ್ವ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ ವ್ಲಾಡಿಮಿರ್ ಕ್ಲಿಟ್ಸ್ಕೊ (62-3).
Pulev was a celebrated amateur boxer who represented Bulgaria at the 2008 ಬೀಜಿಂಗ್ ಒಲಿಂಪಿಕ್ಸ್, ಚೀನಾ. Currently rated No. 9 in the world by the WBA, Pulev can position himself for another world title shot with an impressive victory over Johnson, the battle-tested veteran fighting out of Lawrenceville, ಜಾರ್ಜಿಯಾ, ಅಮೇರಿಕಾ.
“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.’
 ಜಾನ್ಸನ್, 37, has served as a dangerous “ಕಾವಲುಗಾರನ” in the heavyweight division during his 14-year professional career. He’s fought reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua – the only fighter to stop Johnson – former unified world heavyweight titlist ಟೈಸನ್ ಫರಿ, ಮಾಜಿ ಪಟ್ಟವನ್ನು ಚಾಲೆಂಜರ್ Manuel Charr and current European champion ಕ್ರಿಶ್ಚಿಯನ್ ಹ್ಯಾಮರ್. Johnson’s most notable wins have been against world title challengers ಬ್ರೂಸ್ ಸೆಲ್ಡನ್ (TKO5), Alex Leapai (TKO9) ಮತ್ತು Albert Sosnowski (SDEC3 in Prizefighter Tournament).
ರಲ್ಲಿ 2009, Johnson lost his lone world title fight by unanimous decision to undefeated WBC champion ವಿಟಾಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಟ್ಸ್ಕೊ, extending him the full 12-rounds.
Additional PPV fights are scheduled on FITE TV on a weekly basis.
