Anthony Joshua, Kubrat Pulev Have Until January 31 To Reach Deal

IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev, according to a rep from the International Boxing Federation (IBF), have until January 31 to reach an agreement or their contest will head to a purse bid.

https://www.boxingscene.com/anthony-joshua-kubrat-pulev-january-31-reach-deal--145794

They'll probably reach a deal, but no doubt Pulev will be trying to get the fight ASAP since he'll be 39 in a few months.

Either way, it wouldn't be a surprise if AJ quickly KOs Pulev around May-June, then fights the winner of Fury/Wilder towards the end of the year.

We can always dream.

Yeah, this is a good time-table for AJ to fight Pulev, which we think he can really win, his stack somewhat going up again and his name into the discussions to fight the winner of Wilder vs Fury. Assuming that there will be no trilogy here, because there are news that either way, there will be a third fight, to make more money for both of them.

That should be the case, they cannot avoid each other, the fight should happen, because it is the fight that really happens, this is what promoters and fight experts want and dream that must happen, I hope they will be considerate enough to accept the money that they will deal.

I don’t wanna see any of these mandatory challengers for AJ’s belts, I wanna see AJ fight Wilder & Fury.

They'll be fighting soon but I like Wilder as probably he could knock down AJ based on how I figure this two will fight in the ring.

The most anticipated fight this year so far is the Wilder vs Fury, and this is better than AJ vs Ortiz fight 1 and 2 combined,.. 2 was just a hype.

I'm thinking the same, it is obvious Joshua cannot fight either of those two as they are going to be fighting each other and after that they need to build the hype for the fight but it cannot take that much longer, people are hungry for the big fights and this means a lot of money is going to be on the table for all the fighters involved, it is going to be finally the time to prove in the ring who is the best, and the best part is that if the fights are as good as we believe they may be this could spark a trilogy of fights among them.

I don’t wanna see any of these mandatory challengers for AJ’s belts, I wanna see AJ fight Wilder & Fury.

They're both locked up in a fight in February.

Anthony Joshua previously said he wants to fight in the sprint, and I doubt there's going to be a quick turnaround between Fury and Wilder such that they could possibly make a fighter with Joshua.

The undisputed fight will likely be set around 6 months in advance to give the promoters and networks time to properly market the event (i.e. milk it for as much as possible), since it'll be the biggest fight of the decade.

This isn't something to throw together shortly after another huge championship fight.

You're totally right because the rematch between Fury and Wilder which is set on February 22 was already confirmed by Fury and it will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. I guess it will be atleast April before the fight between the winner of Fury vs Wilder fight can dace Anthony.

That's best case scenario.

When a fighter gets knocked down, or gets a cut etc, then they usually get suspended by the relevant athletic commission for AT LEAST two months before they can resume fighting professionally.

At that rate, assuming someone gets knocked out (probably Fury), he would be able to fight until at least May and that's still wildly optimistic since these fights never get made that quickly.

I understand the association of boxing commissions rules concern the health of boxers which the reason why i presume it will be at least April before Anthony can face any of the winners between (Wilder vs Fury) fight.

The last time i check no one know if Wilder will be the winner of the upcoming fight with Fury and you shouldnt use Anthony pretty face to predict Wilder the winner if the two ever have undisputed title fight.

At least we should see the fight whether AJ vs Fury or AJ vs Wilder before the end of 2020 or at least first half of 2021. This is really doable and as @Docnaster, but it might take some time to set up, as network will have a lot their hands to promote it and will try every marketing strategy so that they can milk the hell out of that fight.

Heavyweight division is somewhat stack up right now, and there are a lot of good fights to be made this 2020. But all eyes are on the big three and we do hope that we will see them fighting each other at least this 2020.

This is what AJ has to say:

Quote

"I always said the belts do not represent me. I will stand as a champion, even if I have to give one up," Joshua told Sky Sports. "It would give me an opportunity to face another world champion – I’ve beaten four world champions on my record now.

"If I give up a belt it creates more history and entertainment. If I have to, I’ll give it away – but I’ll get it back again."

@fortunecrypto - boxing today is no longer the best fighting the best. You're right, it's all business now, but want we really wanted to see is AJ facing either Fury or Wilder next and as boxing fans we wanted to see those three facing one another in an epic clash. We do hope that he will face the winner of Fury vs Wilder. And I'm sure that when there's enough money in the table, they can eventually arrange and iron out it everything and make the fight.

That was a good line though and i agree for his point on giving up a belt and taking it back.It do really give out some entertainment and thrill.I dont have any hopes for Fury nor wilder yet
there was already mandatory fight for AJ.

I believe you're right about most rated boxers which ought to be Anthony's next opponent been tied up with another fight and i think there's anything anyone can do about that but the available opponent to fight Anthony will only be someone who's his previous or upcoming opponent have beaten.

Anthony Joshua has stated multiple times in the past that he would rather not fight unless he is fighting another A class fighter.

Unlike Tyson Fury (for example) who has no issues with fighting the likes of Tom Schwartz and other low ranked fighters for a tickover, it seems AJ will only fight those in the top 20 or so.

This obviously causes matchmaking issues, but will eventually give fight fans the fights they want.

The boxing fans deserve great fights and great fighters fight great fighters, but the problem is always been money and privileges, the Wilder against Joshua will eventually happen even if any of the fighters suffer losses from low ranked fighters, just like what happened to Joshua, they cannot ignore the calling if they want to stay in the ring they have to fight each other.

If that's what the fans wanted to happen, then they should grab that opportunity in order to avoid matchmaking issues.
As a boxer, he shouldn't be missing a good chance to have it as long as they're popular it wouldn't be a big deal. Just like Manny Pacquiao, he's willing to take all the possible good match regardless of weight issues.

You can't just go up and down weight classes without vacating your belts if you have mandatories.

This means AJ can't just go and beat everyone at Cruiserweight when there's nobody left to fight, otherwise he'll need to vacate the belts he has spent so long collecting.

Plus, he's probably too big to cut down to cruiserweight, it would ruin him.

I actually dont know when he made the statement you're talking about but the last time i checked what he said during his interview after the clash of the dunes was that he's already to fight Usyk, Pulev, Wilder, Fury etc cause he have to defend his title whenever he can.
When did he said hes not going to fight low rank fighters?

Looking at the rankings, there doesn't really appear to be anybody in the top 5 that are likely to face AJ any time soon. Wilder and Fury are tied up to fight in February, Usyk probably doesn't want that smoke for his second fight at heavyweight and Ruiz already got that smoke twice in a row.

Discounting all of these, we have the potential Dillian Whyte rematch (good chance), but I suspect Joshua will end up fighting someone ranked slightly lower, such as Kownacki or Hrgovic. I don't want to see him fight anybody that any of his previous opponents have already beat...

I believe you're right about most rated boxers which ought to be Anthony's next opponent been tied up with another fight and i think there's anything anyone can do about that but the available opponent to fight Anthony will only be someone who's his previous or upcoming opponent have beaten.

Theres no other choice but to deal with it yet its already mandated on the said fight which means we cant really stop on whose gonna he fight.
About those Wilder rejection issue then its just right for him to decline but sooner or later they will surely face up on the ring but for how AJ
would deal either those 2 low ranks than him.

Deal? He will definitely gave his fans a good reason to have total trust in him again because alot of his fans actually doubted his ability these days ever since his first fight with Ruiz but i believe it to be an easy win fight for Anthony.
