By Allan Fox: IBF mandatory heavyweight challenger Kubrat Pulev (19-0, 10 KO’s) finally has an opponent for his scheduled 8-round fight on Saturday night on the undercard of the Enzo Maccarinelli vs. Jurgen Braehmer card at the Stadhalle, Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Pulev will be fighting the 23-year-old Joey Dawejko (9-3-2, 3 KO’s). Pulev was rumored to be fighting Ellijah McCall, but he chose not to take the fight against him. Pulev’s promoters were then forced to hunt down Dawejko and have him fill in at the last second.
