Joshua to face Pulev in Cardiff in October

Joshua, 27, had been pursuing a Las Vegas

rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, who he beat at Wembley in April, only for the Ukrainian to announce his retirement.
Instead, Joshua (19-0) will face IBF mandatory challenger Pulev beneath a closed roof in Cardiff, paving the way for him to make his United States debut next year.
“October 28 can’t come soon enough,” Joshua said in a press release issued by Matchroom Boxing.
