Fury vs Pulev?By Per-Ake Persson Hennessy Sports and Sauerland Event have begun talks of a fight between [Tyson Fury] and [Kubrat Pulev]. This would be defence of the EBU heavyweight title held by Pulev and a final IBF eliminator for the mandatory position in the IBF ratings.
 Kubrat Pulev vs Tyson Fury
Pulev, 17-0 and # 1 IBF, knocked out Alexander Ustinov to in an eliminator for the number one position in September of last year and have since been waiting for the next move in the IBF four man tournament while Fury, 21-0, took out Steve Cunningham April 20 for the # 2 position.
The IBF originally had Tomasz Adamek, Odlanier Solis, Kubrat Pulev and Alexander Ustinov lined for their eliminators but both Solis and Adamek withdrew.
Date and site are not set yet and the winner of this eliminator will most likely have to stand in line and then take on the winner of [Wladimir Klitschko] vs [Alexander Povetkin] (and both these guys have defences lined up in May that must go according to plan for all pieces to come together).
