An all-Brit title unification fight will have to wait with Anthony Joshua’s next fight set. Joshua is set to face Kubrat Pulev on June 20 at The Tottenham stadium. With Deontay confirming that he is exercising his rematch clause, this is the only fight that made sense.
Who is Kubrat Pulev?
Kubrat Pulev is currently (28-1) with his only loss coming via a Klitschko knockout in 2014. The Bulgarian is on an 8 match win streak and is Joshua’s mandatory IBF opponent.

There is still hope for the unification bout, however, Pulev can’t be overlooked. The Bulgarian is known for his amazing jabs and his boxing IQ. Pulev could prove to be a tougher opponent for Joshua than Andy Ruiz.

Potential Benefits to AJ?
