The teams of former contenders for the heavyweight titles Kubrat Pulev and Hughie Fury agreed on terms and will fight on October 27. They will meet for the title of the IBF official contender in Sofia, Bulgaria.
The last time the 37-year-old Pulev was in the ring in April 2017, when in Sofia he defeated Kevin Johnson. 23-year-old Hughie Fury this May stopped in the fifth round his compatriot Sam Sexton.
Before that, Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller refused to meet Pulev, in order not to go to Bulgaria.
