British favorite Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) and Bulgarian star Pulev (29-2, 14 KOs) first met over six years ago in Hamburg, Germany. After twelve rounds the latter took a split decision as well as then vacant European title to progress in their IBF World heavyweight title eliminator.
Chisora has since faced some of the biggest names in the division, including WBC title challenger Dillian Whyte twice, WBA and IBF title challenger Carlos Takam, unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk and most recently two slugfests with former WBO champion Joseph Parker.
Two-time world title challenger Pulev, who’s only losses came against modern legend Wladimir Klitscho in 2014 and former unified king Anthony Joshua in 2020, dominated Jerry Forrest to win a unanimous decision on the Sergey Kovalev vs. Tervel Pulev undercard at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California last month.
