British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua's next opponent has
been confirmed as Kubrat Pulev, and the fight will take place in June 2020 at
Tottenham's new stadium.
Bulgarian fighter Pulev also known as ''The cobra''
confirmed the fight against the world IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO heavyweight
champion on Monday.
Pulev, 38, and a
former European amateur super-heavyweight champion said
“The contract is already officially signed,” Pulev said on
his Facebook page. “I am happy to be able to show the world how strong I am.”
A third fight between WBC and Lineal Heavyweight champion
Tyson Fury and American boxer Deontay Wilder is on and set for July, and if
Joshua beats Pulev he could be in line for an all-British title unification
fight against Tyson Fury.
Joshua last fought in London in September 2018 when he beat
Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium and since then has had two fights against
Andy Ruiz in USA and Saudi Arabia respectively.
