Kubrat Pulev thinks Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) as a clear favorite in the return match for three heavyweight championship titles against Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).

Although the Bulgarian himself lost to the Englishman in the championship fight ahead of schedule, he does not appreciate his boxing advantages too highly.

“Usyk will knock him out in a rematch, Joshua is nothing special. I lost to him, but then I was not well prepared. It was my mistake, my fault, but that's the way it is. Now I'm in good shape and I feel strong," Pulev, who will face Derek Chisora ​​in London on July 9, said in an interview with IFL TV.
