December 12th is a big fight day!
Not only is UFC 256 this evening in Las Vegas, but the unified WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) is back in the ring for the first time in a year. His opponent will be mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) of Bulgaria. There will also be about 1,000 fans inside The SSE Arena in London, as COVID-19 restrictions have eased in the United Kingdom.
This fight was supposed to happen three years ago, but Pulev withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Carlos Takam.
