Adamek (48-2, 29KOs) now has to fight Sauerland fighter Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9KOs) in a final IBF eliminator and the winner will become Wladimir's mandatory. The mandatory fight could take place in March or April, but the location has not been determined. "Adamek performed well below expectations. In my opinion Cunningham won the fight by several points, and Adamek has no chance of beating Pulev," Sauerland stated.
