Long time Top Rank promoter Bob Arum caught up with Boxing Social before the Crawford-Khan fight and confirmed that IBF mandatory challengers Kubrat Pulev will not be available to fight Anthony Joshua in place of Jarrell Miller following the failed drug tests from last week.
Pulev, who recently stopped fringe contender Bogdan Dinu last month is under suspension himself after making an inappropriate advance on female journalist following his win. Arum mentioned Pulev is scheduled to appear at a hearing by the California State Athletic Commission which is set to take place on May 14th to determine his future eligibility.
