Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev Betting
Anthony Joshua is a great example of winning by losing. Joshua won the first 22 fights of his career and it’s likely that he was reading his own headlines and becoming comfortable when he faced blubbery fill-in Andy Ruiz Jr on June 1, 2019 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Ruiz stunned the world in Buster Douglas fashion when he defeated Joshua in a seventh-round technical knockout. As a result, he walked away with Joshua’s International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Organization, and International Boxing Organization title belts. Six months later Joshua got his revenge with a unanimous decision win to reclaim those belts. On December 12 Joshua will defend his championships for the first time since defeating Ruiz when he faces Kubrat Pulev on December 12, 2020. Pulev is a former European heavyweight champion and challenged for the world unification heavyweight championship six years ago when he lost to Wladimir Klitschko.
