JAKARTA - Kubrat Pulev said he was confident he could foil the planned battle between world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury by defeating the British boxer at the Wembley Arena, Saturday, December 12.
Pulev, Joshua's mandatory challenger to defend his IBF belt, has arrived in London after the scheduled duel between the two which was originally scheduled for June had to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Bulgarian is confident he can expose Joshua's weaknesses at the Wembley Arena, where Britain's Joshua's WBA and WBO championship belts will also be at stake.
"We see a lot of shortcomings from Anthony. There are many downsides, "said Pulev, who has a 28-1 record.
"The most important thing is how I look on Saturday night. If my fight is good, I can beat him. My current condition is very good, strong and powerful, "he added.
Joshua (31), hasn't played since overthrowing Andy Ruiz in December 2019.
Pulev, who only lost the title race to Wladimir Klitschoko in 2014, said the duel against Joshua was not just a match for himself, but also his much-awaited ambition, against WBC heavyweight boxing belt Tyson Fury.
"This fight is not just for boxing, but for all Bulgarians because nobody from my country has ever been a world heavyweight champion," he said.
"I think after this match I will fight with Tyson Fury. I'm not sure Joshua and Fury's fight will happen because I will win on Saturday night. "
"I think the world needs a new world champion like me," he concluded.
