Bulgarian heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev is one win away from getting a shot at the title when he meets veteran American contender Tony Thompson. They square off in a final eliminator on Saturday in Schwerin, Germany with the winner becoming a mandatory challenger for one of the belts held by Wladimir Klitschko. Pulev (17-0, 9 KOs) is 32 already, but was a top amateur and only been a pro since 2009. He holds the European heavyweight title, although likely will vacate it since he probably won’t be able to make a mandatory defense against Dereck Chisora by the deadline because he is fighting on Saturday.
