It is expected that on November 9 Kubrat Pulev (27-1, 14 KOs) will return to the ring in the United States. Mark de Mori (37-2-2, 33 KOs), who was knocked out in the first round by David Haye in 2016, will be a rival for IBF heavyweight official challenger.

The Bulgarian has recently had to fight for his boxing license, which was suspended after the fighter was accused of sexual harassment of Jenny 'SuShe' Ravalo sports reporter. Pulev kissed the journalist after the interview, which was given after a victorious bout against Bogdan Dinu. According to CSAC order, the fighter had to pass a special course on sexual harassment - which he did - to continue to perform in the United States.

Pulev must face the winner of a rematch between Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua next year. This fight will take place on December 7 in Saudi Arabia.

The main event of the November evening of boxing will be the opposition of Jamel Herring (20-2, 10 KOs) with Lamont Roach Jr. (19-0-1, 7 KOs). Opponents will fight for the WBO featherweight title on ESPN card.
