Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev LIVE: Updates as AJ bids to set up Tyson Fury clash
Who is in undercard action tonight?
As mentioned, it’s a stacked card at the SSE Arena tonight and there is plenty to feast on besides the main event.
Lawrence Okolie takes on Nikodem Jezewski as he looks to vent some frustration after his WBO cruiserweight world title fight with Krzysztof Glowacki was cancelled.
Plans to face Glowacki have been shelved, as opposed to postponed after the 34-year-old tested positive for coronavirus during his training camp.
There will be fireworks when Congolese heavyweight Martin Bakole takes on Sergey Kuzmin and many feel this fight could end in devastating fashion.
Both fighters have lost just once in their professional careers and both defeats were inflicted by former Matchroom star Michael Hunter.
Elsewhere, Tyson Fury’s cousin Hughie Fury takes on seasoned veteran Mariusz Wach, who lost to Dillian Whyte on the undercard of Joshua’s rematch with Ruiz in Saudi Arabia.

Welcome!
Good evening and welcome to Express Sport’s live coverage of Anthony Joshua’s world title defence against Kubrat Pulev!
We’ll be keeping you up to date on all the action from the SSE Arena, Wembley where the fighters will make their way to the ring between 10-10:30pm.
The two heavyweights were initially set to collide back in 2017 in Cardiff before Pulev was forced to pull out of the fight through injury.
It was finally penciled in again earlier this year though on July 20 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the coronavirus pandemic eventually saw the contest rescheduled for December.
AJ will be looking to issue an emphatic statement to Tyson Fury ahead of next year’s potential undisputed clash with the Gypsy King.
Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn has delivered another stacked card which also features several cracking contests with Lawrence Okolie, Hughie Fury and Martin Bakole all in action.
Strap yourselves in for what promises to be an enthralling night of action as a forgetful 2020 draws to a close…
