Joshua, 30, aimed to protect his world titles IBF, WBA and WBO in the heavy weight against Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20th, but the war was postponed due to pandemic and no other date was set.
“We are discussing Croatia,” said Pulev manager Ivaylo Gotsev.
There's a unique Roman stadium, Pula Arena and we're in active negotiations. ”
Joshua was originally scheduled to fight with Pulev at the Czardiff Prince's Stadium in October 2017, but the 34-year-old Bulgarian, known as the “The Cobra”, withdrew after having suffered a shoulder injury in the spar.
Boxing is currently suspended in the United Kingdom and the British Box Control Board is preparing to return behind closed doors in July.
We remember that Pulev, is one of the most popular athletes in Bulgaria, suffered his only career loss when he challenged the IBF's world heavyweight title in 2014, losing to Wildimir Klitschko in Hamburg in a fifth round knockout. /Periscope. com/
