Kubrat Pulev is already talking tough ahead of the much anticipated boxing bout against reigning WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO champion Anthony Joshua billed to hold at the O2 Arena in the United Kingdom on the 12th of December.
The Bulgarian professional boxer, who claimed to have watched several fights of Joshua, insists that the Brit does not possess enough mental toughness to go toe to toe with him.
Although, he admitted Joshua has a good style and further branding him a ‘good specimen’.
Pulev, 39, told Marc Gatford via Betway Insider: “I have been watching his fights carefully. He has a good style and he is a good specimen, but he has not shown any mental toughness. “Yes, he has skills, but he hasn’t shown the mental strength.
This is something from within, in the blood of a man, and he does not have it. “Whatever mental toughness he’s got, I know I’m the harder person. This is the difference – my toughness will prevail.”
Nicknamed ‘The Cobra’, the Bulgarian has so far won 28 of his 29 previous fights including 14 KOs, with his only loss coming in 2014 to former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
