Anthony Joshua Says Kubrat Pulev Will Try to Bully Him

Unified heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua has broken down his opponent’s game plan ahead of his fight. The champion will take on challenger Kubrat Pulev to defend all his belts on a PPV clash on Saturday night. Both fighters have already spoken about how they will approach the fight. However, ‘AJ’ provided his opinion on how Pulev will actually try to get the victory.

Speaking on The Pug and Copp Boxing Show, Joshua gave a complete analysis of Pulev. He said, “Complete technical fighter. He’s got the basics and foundations down to a ‘T’. I feel, due to the fact that he’s fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world, he wants to throw me out of my throne.”

This suggested that he expects the Bulgarian to come for a brawl.

‘AJ’ explained, “He’ll do anything to try and bully me out of my position… That’s his mindset because I had a slip-up in June… June 1st in New York, so he’s probably living off that momentum, but as I said, he’s very good.”

This gives fans the idea that he will not repeat his mistakes from the first Andy Ruiz Jr fight, and he will hold his opponent in high regard.

The champion showed his respect for his challenger. Joshua said, “His best punch is his jab. He’s got very good foundations in terms of balance and I feel his game plan will be to try and bully me up on my throne.”

Per the last two major events on British soil, fans have seen what an under-rated weapon the jab has proven to be.

However, we’re sure the Bulgarian will have something extra up his sleeve to bring to this fight. Either way, the Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev fight is one that you just can not miss.
