Also, he praised Joshua's strength. He mentioned:
"I’d say he has a very powerful punch undeniably … [and] his tan is better than mine.” The mandatory challenger has since apologised, saying his comments were “taken out of context.”"
He added:
"I would never, under any circumstances, allow myself to show disrespect to another human being on racial, ethnic or religious grounds,” the 39-year-old said in a statement. “If somebody has been offended by my words, I hope they would try to understand exactly what I meant by them and if they cannot understand me, then accept my sincere apology."
On the other hand, Joshua did not make any comments regarding the facts. He mentioned, 'I respect every opponent, and I respect Pulev. I wish him well during his preparation.'
Their match was scheduled for a few months before in June; however, it was postponed due to Coronavirus's outbreak (COVID-19).
