Also, these fights will comprise a hybrid set of rules. On top of that, fighters will wear crossover gloves, and the entire theme of these fights will be striking centric, with holding still allowed.
Pulev is eager to take part in this event, and he even is ready to wage a war against Mir.
Speaking to FightHype recently, he said, “So I don’t like to speak too much what I will do because you know this is like one little war. But for sure, will be very, very heavy for him because I’m very combinative.”
He further added, “That’s why I’m prepared good, I have lot of power, and I feel great to fight with him because he’s also a great fighter and I respect him. But will be very heavy for him, really. And this is what is better for me. This is the time, 9 rounds, 2 minutes. This is really for me, more easy as boxing.”
