“This week has been amazing because we are in the bubble” – Kubrat Pulev
Pulev was quoted as saying, “I feel a little lighter and at my best like this .A boxer must have power and speed and right now I feel very dangerous. It means we are going to win .It will not be an easy fight but we will win it. He is a very good fighter, that I respect, but I will show I am the better boxer. Two good fighters means it is a dangerous fight, and I like that.” [via the Guardian]
Speaking about his only loss in his career, to Wladimir Klitschko and his life in the bubble, Pulev said, “For me this is much more important than becoming a champion for the money. This means everything if I achieve it. I don’t think it is my last chance but it is an important moment. The one time I lost [to Klitschko] I was too young, too green. Before Klitschko I was relaxed but there were many problems. My promoters were talking about tickets and money. They were mistakes because I was not only thinking about training and the strategy for the fight. It just did not work. This week has been amazing because we are in the bubble. People want to see me but I tell them I am in the bubble.” [via the Guardian]
