Anthony Joshua’s next fight is being shown on Sky and here are all the details

Paul Moore

He’s back!

Anthony Joshua will return to the ring for the first time since his spectacular victory over Klitschko at Wembley Stadium where he survived a knockdown and 11 brutal rounds to claim a career-defining win.

Joshua will defend his world heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev on 28 October when the hard-hitting Bulgarian steps into the ring at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to take on A.J.

Nicknamed The Cobra, Pulev has tasted defeat just once in his professional career – against Klitschko – back in 2014. In total he has won 25 of 26 fights including a recent victory over Britain’s Dereck Chisora.

Joshua will be gunning for his 20th professional win. All 19 of his previous victories have come by way of knockout. It will also be the first time that Wales’ 74,500-seater national stadium has hosted a night of boxing since 2007, when local hero Joe Calzaghe defeated Mikkel Kessler.

The cost of the event will be £19.95 / €24.95 across all forms of booking up until midnight Friday 27 October.

From then on the cost will still be £19.95 / €24.95 if bookings are made via remote control and online, but will cost £24.95 / €29.95 if booked via the phone.
