Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev fight results: Live boxing updates, scorecard, start time, undercard


Three of the four recognized heavyweight titles will be at stake as Anthony Joshua returns from a one-year layoff on Saturday to take on mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev inside London's Wembley Arena ( 1 p.m. ET on DAZN). Joshua will defend his WBA, WBO and IBF titles in a fight that was originally scheduled for 2017 until Pulev, a native of Bulgaria, pulled out with a shoulder injury.
Although most boxing fans are waiting on Joshua to face WBC and lineal champion Tyson Fury for the undisputed championship, both will need to get through their mandatory tests first. Joshua returns for the first time since a two-fight series in 2019 against Andy Ruiz Jr. in which he bounced back from an upset knockout to score a decision win in their rematch.
