There is sense making a trilogy now, but heavyweight contenders aren’t really into it. Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev is next on the line for title shot (IBF).

“He certainly doesn’t want to let the titles in the ring, or out of the ring,” said promoter Eddie Hearn to ESPN.com. “The IBF seems to be the one that was certainly ordered first. But I’ll need to speak to Daryl Peoples (president of the IBF), I’ll need to speak to Francisco Valcarcel, the head of the WBO.”

Joshua (23-1, 21 KO) won on scores of 118-110, 118-110, and 119-109, nearly sweeping the scores from the three ringside judges.
