"I expect to play a match for the WBA world title. This is the most important thing at the moment. The match should take place until March 30, but this time could be extended," Kubrat Pulev told BNT in connection with his upcoming clash with Manuel Char for the World Boxing Association "regular" world title.
"There are no impossible things. You see, I was given a chance once, a second time, now a third time. You know my motto: There is no way that there is no way. There is always a way, the question is to find it," added Cobrata .
The regular world title, currently held by Mahmoud Char, is the second most important WBA belt, the most important being held by Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk. Char, 39, was born in Beirut, Lebanon and is known by the nickname "Diamond Boy". He has 38 fights in the professional ring, in which he has recorded 34 wins (20 by knockout) and only four losses, the last of which was in August 2015. Two of Char's four losses are to Vitali Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin.
The Cobra, for his part, won his last fight against Poland's Andrzej Waczyk by unanimous decision in Costa Mesa, California. In doing so, Pulev avenged his loss to Chisora in the summer of 2022. He has 30 wins (14 by knockout) and three losses, with the previous two coming in world title fights - to Anthony Joshua in 2020 and to Wladimir Klitschko six years earlier. /BGNES
