Chronicle EditorLONDON. — Britain’s Anthony Joshua will defend his IBF and WBA world heavyweight boxing titles against Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on October 28.
The bout comes six months after Joshua stopped Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in April, to add the WBA title to the IBF belt he claimed in 2016.
Pulev (36) is the mandatory challenger for Joshua’s IBF title.
“I have been eager to get back in the ring since Wembley,” said Joshua (27).
“I’ll be locked away focusing on fight number 20 for the next eight weeks. I am excited to experience the atmosphere in a sold out Principality Stadium and aim to give the fans a spectacular night.” — BBC Sport.
