Bulgarian heavyweight Kubrat Pulev is confident about overcoming Anthony Joshua in their upcoming face-off for the unified heavyweight belts on December 12. He claimed that he will dismantle ‘AJ’ and has already planned for the future.

‘Kobrata’ doesn’t want to wait and restrict himself in the line. Instead, he envisions a matchup against WBC titleholder, Tyson Fury, in 2021, after he gets past Anthony Joshua.

He has already shed light on that match, but has his aim fixed at AJ for now. He sees it to be a huge night for himself and wants to become the first heavyweight champion from his nation.

While Pulev desires to dethrone him, it will be a tough job. Joshua is one of the scariest knockout punchers in the division who is on a two-fight long KO drought.
