Kubrat Pulev gave a signal that he does not intend to stop boxing. His words came when he returned to Bulgaria after Anthony Joshua’s world title match in the heavyweight category, which he lost by knockout in the ninth round.
At the Sofia airport, Pulev was received with the sound of bagpipes and with great media interest. “It’s like I won. I have that feeling. It’s a very warm welcome. I wasn’t expecting such a thing. It’s a loss for me and I wasn’t expecting such a welcome. The match was important because it’s for the world title. I’m angry that I didn’t win. When I said I was fighting for the people, that’s true, “he said.
“This is not the time to give up. As I move, I wait,” Pulev said.
His professional boxing career began in September 2009. Since then, he has reached two world title matches, but lost both: against Wladimir Klitschko in 2014 and now against Joshua. He has 28 wins and two losses in his career.
Pulev repeated his words that his preparation was not good enough. He also hopes for a rematch, but does not expect to receive it.
“We have a very good saying: a man from tarikat does not shout. I will not apologize. If I had been better prepared, I could have won. You saw how afraid I was, both at the press conference and at the game. But there were concerns, ”added the Bulgarian boxer.
