Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) exudes confidence ahead of Saturday's WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight title bout against Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs). The Bulgarian does not care about the opinions of experts who predict his failure, and says that he will derail the plans of Joshua's team to organize a unification bout with WBC champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs).

“I see Anthony has a lot of gaps in his boxing technique, a lot of weaknesses. Now I just need to use them on Saturday," Pulev said. "If I'm in shape, I will definitely knock him out! And I feel great before this fight, I am very strong!"

“Now I am completely healthy and full of energy. When I win, I want to fight Tyson Fury. There will be no Joshua vs Fury fight, because I will win on Saturday. The world needs a new champion, someone like me!" the IBF mandatory challenger said.
