Anthony Joshua admitted he has taken Wladimir Klitschko’s advice on how to deal with Kubrat Pulev with ‘a pinch of salt’. The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion will defend his titles on Saturday night as he aims to secure a legacy-defining fight with Tyson Fury in 2021. Joshua must first get past resilient Bulgarian Pulev on Saturday night, however, knowing victory over the 39-year-old mandatory challenger will surely clear the path for a shot at ‘The Gypsy King’. “We spoke about the Pulev fight,” Joshua told Sky Sports. “This was like four weeks ago. And I’m probably going to catch up with him again now that you’ve just mentioned it. He has his views. But every fighter… so Pulev vs Klitschko is different to the Pulev vs Joshua. Pulev vs Klitschko was different to Klitschko vs Joshua. They’re completely different fights. “So even though Klitschko has been in with both of us, the fights were so different. So even though Klitschko is going to give me advice on how to deal with Pulev, I have to take it with a pinch of salt. Because the Pulev I am going to be fighting is completely different from the Pulev that Klitschko was fighting.”
