“We’ve got a little history going here, with Kubrat and British heavyweights. He’s knocked off quite a few”
Kubrat Pulev is getting ready for a world title “war” with Anthony Joshua and then “all roads lead” to Tyson Fury, says the Bulgarian’s manager Ivalyo Gotsev.
The IBF mandatory challenger is the next opponent for unified champion Joshua, with locations in Britain, the Middle East, China and Croatia being considered to host the WBA, IBF and WBO title fight.
An all-British battle between Joshua and Fury continues to be discussed, with promoter Eddie Hearn hoping to even sign a two-fight deal, but Gotsev is confident Pulev will fulfil his own ambitious plans.

“Kubrat versus UK, I like that. A little name for himself there, so yeah, let’s deal with Joshua first. Let the best man win, and then we’ll look at options with Tyson Fury.

“Either way, all roads lead to Fury. I can say that, because I think he’s shown to be one of the supreme guys out there, if not the supreme guy.
“He is the man. It would be delightful to face the UK champions, one after another, wouldn’t it.”
