Kubrat Pulev vs. Samuel Peter
WBA Intercontinental Heavyweight
Tthis Saturday night on December 3, 20:00 h. at the Arena Armeec in Sofia, Bulgaria.
15,000 of Pulev’s fans are expected to be showing up on Saturday night to cheer him on.
Heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev is from Bulgaria but has been based in Germany throughout his seven-year professional career and never fought in his home country. That will finally change Saturday.
Pulev is very excited to fight at the Arena Armeec in his hometown Sofia, Bulgaria, where he will take on former world titleholder Samuel Peter in a 12-round bout for a regional belt.
"This time everything is different for me," Pulev said at his public workout this week, where he was given a hero's welcome by the fans before going through the paces with famed German trainer Ulli Wegner. "Because this is my homeland, my hometown, the city I was born, and the city I grew up in. This is my nation, these are my people, and we share the same blood. It's a huge honor for me to have the chance to make this country proud and my countrymen happy with a great victory."
Pulev (23-1, 12 KOs) won his first 20 fights -- including notable victories against Tony Thompson, Alexander Ustinov and Alexander Dimitrenko -- to earn a mandatory title shot against then-world champion Wladimir Klitschko. They met in November 2014 and Klitschko obliterated him in a fifth-round knockout that was the ESPN.com Knockout of the Year.
Since that crushing loss, Pulev has won three bouts in a row, including a significant victory in his last bout, a split decision to win the vacant European title against Dereck Chisora in May.
In the 36-year-old Peter, Pulev will be facing a fighter with a big name, but one who many view as washed up.
At one time, Peter was viewed as the future of the heavyweight division, and in 2008, he knocked out Oleg Maskaev in the sixth round to win a world title. But Peter lost it in his first defense to Vitali Klitschko in a one-sided eighth-round knockout loss. Peter, who also has two losses to Wladimir Klitschko, has never been the same since.
Peter (36-5, 29 KOs), who is from Nigeria but has lived in Las Vegas for many years, walked away from boxing in 2011, following back-to-back knockout losses to Klitschko in their 2010 rematch and then to Robert Helenius.
Peter returned for one very-low-level win 2014 and also scored a low-level victory in Mexico last month in a tune-up fight ahead of the bout with Pulev.
Peter said he was in the right shape and frame of mind to secure his first meaningful win since beating Maskaev.
"I'm in good shape and I'm ready to fight," Peter said. "The plan is simple for me. I've come here to knock Pulev out and to take the (regional) belt and my money back home to Las Vegas."
On the undercard, 33-year-old Tervel Pulev, Kubrat's younger brother and a 2012 Olympic heavyweight bronze medalist, will make his professional debut against Tomislav Rudan (6-15-1, 2 KOs), 28, of Croatia.
"I would encourage my brother to train hard and follow his dreams," Kubrat Pulev said. "He is a good fighter and together we will make Saturday a great night for Bulgaria."

Kubrat Pulev throw in ecstasy crowded tribunes of "Arena Armeec"!

Former heavyweight world title challenger Kubrat Pulev (24-1, 13 KOs) defeated former WBC heavyweight title challenger Samuel Peter (36-5, 9 KOs) by a 4th round TKO to win the vacant WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title on Saturday night in a mismatch in front of 15,000 boxing fans at the Arena Armeec in Sofia, Bulgaria.
The fight was stopped after round three after the badly out of shape looking Peter appeared to hurt his right arm while throwing a wild shot. Peter bent over the ropes after the round ended. He appeared to be in pain and was leaning towards his right side, as it to show that he had hurt his right arm. Moments later, the fight was halted by the referee.
It’s just as well. The fight was a mismatch, as Peter was slow, fat and missing badly with every punch he threw. It was target practice for the 6’4 ½†Pulev, who jabbed Peter nonstop in rounds one through three. It was too easy for Pulev.

Looking forward to it. And, yes, home field advantage matters (with the crowd howling for their local contender) and I can understand why you made the above remark.
Pulev:
„Joshua has had a good career. However, he hasn’t got my experience. I started boxing when I was 12 years old. And it is not just the ring where I am experienced, but the streets as well, which is another advantage.“
„I will knock out Anthony Joshua“
„I believe it. I believe I win,†said Pulev in initially saying he’ll knockout Joshua.“I don’t know how, but I believe I win.â€

Pulev will just be a moving punching bag for Joshua. But good luck to the guy.....he gets some cash and gets to tell his grandkids he fought the heavyweight champion of the world.
A real fight would be Fury losing the 5 stones he needs to and getting into the right mental shape like when he went to Germany and did what no one else was capable of and make Klitschko look bad.
