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’.

‘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.
