Kubrat Pulev to donate half of Anthony Joshua fight purse to charity if he wins

Kubrat Pulev has promised to hand over half his fight purse to charity if he becomes the first man to stop Anthony Joshua next month.
The Bulgarian is preparing for a potentially massive pay day against Joshua that will be even greater should he beat the Brit.
Pulev would become the WBA and IBF champion and the most talked about heavyweight in the world were he to end the Joshua hype.
The post is in Bulgarian, but loosely translates to the 36-year-old pledging half of his earnings to charities and orphanages if he beats Joshua.
Pulev insists being world champion would be enough and the money would mean more to them than him.
It is a nice gesture from a fighter many are hoping Joshua can get by without any serious issue.

Lovely gesture. I've heard that AJ is donating 3/4s of his purse to charity and doing a shift at a local soup kitchen after the fight just to prove he's the more humble of the two. He also hands free cans of complementary Lynx Dry out the homeless between gym sessions
He's a new level of philanthropist

AJ has promised to equal his entire sparring budget and donate it to charity if he survives full camp without getting knocked out.

So now he's financially better off if he loses?

you may be half-joking mate but you've touched on a serious point
it seems Pulev is trying to out-humble AJ
I don't think any of us have ever seen #beef of this magnitude- AJ's fury at the idea of someone exceeding his humility levels, and outdoing him on that front- its frightening
Pulev's getting stretched in 1. no way AJ is standing for this.

I'm now going to be genuinely saddened when Pulev gets spread across the canvas.
When I should be celebrating a win, I will be burdened with feelings of guilt for all those charitable causes that have gone without
Way to fucking go Kubrat, way to spoil a perfectly good sporting event

Never happening
He's already been flattened and he hasn't sparred a round yet

That shows how much he believes in winning. I too will donate half of my salary when they make me the CEO of Goldman Sachs. Promise.

AJ is gonna be mad as a lorry after this. It's like pulling the humble carpet from under him in his own back yard.
Believe you me, Pulev will regret the day he naively thought it was a good idea to go head to humble against Joshua. There can only be one winner and it aint the Bularian.
I like Pulev, he is a man of the people and speaks like the working man. His manners and English need work however. Was it the IFl interview when he accused the interviewer of farting by saying " did a canon fire from your anus ?"
Go Pulev.

No, because owning the belt will generate more money over time.

Might as well say he'll donate his sh*t to charity the first time he craps Gold. It's about as meaningful a gesture as this.

Kubrat Pulev has promised to hand over half his fight purse to charity
if he becomes the first man to stop Anthony Joshua next month.
The Bulgarian is preparing for a potentially massive pay day against Joshua that will be even greater should he beat the Brit.
Pulev would become the WBA and IBF champion and the most talked about heavyweight in the world were he to end the Joshua hype.
The post is in Bulgarian, but loosely translates to the 36-year-old pledging half of his earnings to charities and orphanages if he beats Joshua.
Pulev insists being world champion would be enough and the money would mean more to them than him.
It is a nice gesture from a fighter many are hoping Joshua can get by without any serious issue.
Already a bit of an issue here...

The Thread is three years old
Pulev is almost 40 years old .
It’s 6 years since his defeat to Wlad Klitschko and in those 6years then he’s beat the likes of Hughie Fury , safety pin Johnson , a washed out and even older Samuel Peter and Chisora over four years ago .
Of course at heavyweight he’s got a punchers chance and Eddie will sell it as Eddie does but for 25 dabs it’s a No for me.
