Hughie Fury edges closer to IBF heavyweight title shot against Anthony Joshua as world title eliminator against Kubrat Pulev is announced

The name of the picture



HUGHIE FURY is edging closer to an IBF heavyweight title shot against Anthony Joshua after landing a final elimiator against Kubrat Pulev.


Bulgarian Pulev – who lost an October 2017 fight with AJ through injury - is ranked No2 by the governing body.

But the veteran has failed to agree terms for a final eliminator with American Jarrell Miller, ranked in 3 and that has let Fury - ranked in 5th - jump to the head of the queue.


Russian drugs cheat Alexander Povetkin is No4 in the list of IBF heavyweights but he is already getting his shot at Joshua on September 22 through the WBA.



Pulev won a purse bid to face ‘Big Baby’ Miller but the New Yorker – who AJ promoter Eddie Hearn liked as a potential USA debut for the Brit icon – quit talks.


Miller’s promoter Dmitry Salita told Sky Sports the fight collapsed when Pulev insisted it would be held in Sofia, for home advantage.

He said: "We were trying for the fight to happen in the United States, or at the very least some kind of neutral territory, and we just couldn't make that deal.


"Jarrell wants to fight the best fighters in the world and Pulev is a very good fighter, and we would consider that fight, just the location didn't work for us.



"Jarrell has demonstrated in his last few fights that he is willing to fight the best and he's stepped up. That's always been our goal.

"We'll explore other options, but I think we'll have something significant to announce soon."


Fury lost his unbeaten record and his first world title challenge when he was outpointed by Joseph Parker for the WBO belt in September.


But the 6ft 6in 23-year-old roared back with a thumping British title win over Sam Sexton in May.

Why is the base type not returned when no generic type specified? [duplicate]

Why is the base type not returned when no generic type specified? [duplicate] This question already has an answer here: I have a code like this: public class A<T extends String> { T field; List<T> fields; public T getField() { return field; } public List<T> getFields() { return fields; } public static void test(){ A a = new A(); String s = a.getField(); List<String> ss = a.getFields(); } } Why when creating A with no generic type getFiled returns String but getFileds returns List<Object> ? A getFiled String getFileds List<Object> I have to define A as A<String> a = new A<>() for this to work properly. A A<String> a = new A<>() Thanks, This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question. By not specifying any generic type, you are decl...
