Kubrat Pulev returns home to face Samuel Peter on Saturday

Heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev is from Bulgaria but has been based in Germany throughout his seven-year professional career and never fought in his home country. That will finally change Saturday.

Pulev is very excited to fight at the Arena Armeec in his hometown Sofia, Bulgaria, where he will take on former world titleholder Samuel Peter in a 12-round bout for a regional belt.

Now based in Minsk, Belarus, ‘Big Al’ clashes with Texan gatekeeper Travis Walker (39-13-1) in an international 10 rounder. The 38 year old Ustinov is a fighting man to the core. Post school, he served with the special forces in the Russian military and, though he had no amateur boxing experience, he is a veteran of 64 paid kick boxing fights, he won multiple K1 Grand Prixs and even dabbled on the MMA circuit.
