Kubrat Pulev pledges to donate half his purse from Anthony Joshua showdown to help fight coronavirus: 'I will give the NHS the equipment to deal with this devilish virus'

Kubrat Pulev will donate half of his purse from his world heavyweight title fight against Anthony Joshua to help medical workers fight the coronavirus.

Joshua's title defence against IBF mandatory challenger Pulev, which was originally scheduled for June 20 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has been postponed due to the pandemic.

The fight could take place in July and Bulgarian Pulev is planning to use part of his proceeds to help battle the pandemic.
