Responding To Tyson
Fury’s Recent Remarks, IBF #1 Contender Kubrat Pulev
Says He Will Crush Fury Right After He Wins The
Heavyweight Championship |
|
IBF #1-rated heavyweight
contender Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev has responded to
former unified WBA, IBF, and WBO (and current Lineal)
Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury’s public claims that he
turned down a fight with “The Gypsy King.”
Pulev asserts it is the exact opposite situation, in
fact.
“Fury is using me and some other boxers that he knows
are currently unavailable for different reasons, just so
he can get some PR,” said Pulev. “A few years ago, Fury
refused a fight with me and not because he wasn’t
available like I am right now. He was available. He was
just scared!”

Pop Quiz: Autographed S.O.G. Glove Up For Grabs |
|
By William Trillo
If ever there was a microcosm for boxing the last few
weeks for The Manly Art of Self Defense would be it. As
history tells us boxing can be a topsy turvy world,
anything that can happen will. It was literally a “Soup
to Nuts” July that has drifted into August now. Any sane
boxing aficionado would agree we have a lot more
questions than answers right now. That being said I have
to wonder what the average boxing fan has to say all
this.
With that thought in mind I have put together this
surprise little Pop Quiz for y’all to ponder. There is
no right or wrong answer so feel free to let your gut
feelings be heard. As an added incentive to reply we are
randomly selecting one person to win a glove autographed
by Andre Ward for answering all the questions.
Simple enough right? So here we go.
