Tyson Fury an English professional world boxing champion has reportedly predicted a win for Bulgarian fighter Kubrat Pulev against Anthony Joshua in the coming duel.
Nigerian and British boxer Anthony Joshua will on Saturday, December 12, face serious battle against Kubrat Pulev in the defense of his titles which will come up in England.
Kubrat Pulev is one of the respected boxers in the world considering his records and the Bulgarian has only lost once in professional fight against Wladimir Klitschko in 2014.
Anthony Joshua on the other hand has also suffered only one defeat so far in his career which was against Mexican boxer Andy Ruiz.
According to the report on Givemesport, Bob Arum who is Tyson Fury's promoter claimed that the Englishman is already looking at other fighters.
It is said that Tyson Fury is convinced that Bulgarian star Kubrat Pulev has what it takes to beat his fellow countryman in the coming super fight.
"Pulev is big, rugged. Joshua is vulnerable and I really feel that Pulev will not only beat him, but will knock him out.
"It will disappoint my other guy, the WBC champion, Tyson Fury, who is looking forward to fighting Joshua.
"I talked to Tyson yesterday and we were making plans for him to fight other fighters. Because he agrees with me, there is a great chance Pulev will upset the apple-cart and beat Joshua."

Anthony Joshua will be facing another battle of his career this coming Saturday against Kubrat Pulev which is expected to be a tough battle at the Cardiff stadium.
His last fight was against Mexican Andy Ruiz having lost the first duel, Joshua was superb in the second battle to reclaim his titles back.
Three years ago, Anthony Joshua was scheduled to face Kubrat Pulev, but the Bulgarian sustained shoulder injury and had to pull out of the fight.
Meanwhile Anthony Joshua is already playing mind games ahead of a possible showdown with ‘Bronze Bomber’ Deontay Wilder, telling the American to fight him when he is man enough.
The British-Nigerian boxer had been tipped to fight Wilder in 2019, but somehow the fight did not materialize before the Wilder was arranged to fight Tyson Fury.
Deontay Wilder claimed that Joshua stylishly avoided him stating that he did well to duck the fight.
Joshua will be in action on December 12 when his WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world titles will be up against Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev.
“He (Wilder) is another challenger. The offer still stands when he's ready and he's man enough to not lie, be real.The champion who is of Nigerian descent has further reiterated that he still wants to take on Wilder despite Fury holding one of his belts. Joshua told the Off The Cuff show on DAZN via Dailymail:
“It wasn't nice when they were trying to tarnish my name. It'll be good to get (him to) stop (the) PR stunts and get a fight underway."

At the moment, Wilder is battling to get a legal stance to enforce a possible rematch with Fury as the trilogy bout was abandoned after they failed to agree on a date with Fury's team.
Should Joshua emerge victorious on the weekend and Fury win his legal battle against Wilder, the stage will be set for the two heavyweights to meet in a fight for the undisputed crown.
The 39-year-old Bulgarian reveals he already knows the Briton's weaknesses and he plans to exploit them at Wembley Arena.
Meanwhile.Kubrat Pulev has promised to hand Anthony Joshua his second professional defeat as the duo face off in a heavyweight bout this weekend.
A defeat for the 30-year-old will see his dream to face fellow countryman, Tyson Fury, quashed as Pulev might be the one to face the WBC titleholder if he emerges victorious.
