British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has confirmed he will defend his IBF, WBA and IBO belts in a heavyweight title fight against Bulgarian boxer Kubrat Pulev.
This comes after Joshua missed out on a rematch to fight former Ukranian heavyweight, Wladimir Klitschko who announced his shocking retirement from boxing after losing his last fight to him.
The 27-year-old boxer who is undefeated in 19 fights confirmed on Instagram on Tuesday that the fight will take place in Cardiff on October 28.
Speaking on Instagram, Anthony Joshua said; “Greetings fight fans, I hope you’re well, ‘October 28, I will be defending my IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight championship title of the world against Kubrat Pulev.
He’s game, ready and it’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to get back in the ring.
