ANTHONY JOSHUA has been told Kubrat Pulev will knock him “on his a**” and END the Brit’s career.
As soon as AJ reclaimed the unified titles by beating Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia, he was ordered by the IBF to defend his belt against Bulgarian veteran Pulev.
Joshua, 30, enhanced his superstar status by exacting revenge against 20st banger Ruiz – but promoter Bob Arum warns the 6ft 6in champion his resurgence will soon be over.
Arum told talkSPORT: “Let me let you in on a secret, you may agree or disagree.
“But by that time [end of 2020], there ain’t going to be an Anthony Joshua as a top fighter.
“I’ve got a Bulgarian named Pulev who’s going to knock him on his ass in his next fight.
“I think everyone is in agreement that Pulev will be next.”

BRIT Luke Campbell has got the go-ahead from the WBC to fight for the world lightweight crown.
Undefeated champ Devin “The Dream” Haney has lost his title as he recovers from a recent injury on his right shoulder.
Campbell, beaten by Vasiliy Lomachenko in August, will meet Dominican Javier Fortuna for the vacant crown.
If an agreement is not reached, a purse bid will be held on January 3, 2020.
While Conor McGregor has urged Tyson Fury to get back with Ben Davison after their shock split.
The Gypsy King parted ways with friend Davison just two months before he rematches Deontay Wilder for the WBC world title.
Notorious wrote on Instagram: “Get over it men and get back to work. Finish the job.”
And Wladimir Klitschko appeared to tease a comeback by calling out Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.
The Ukrainian icon walked away from the sport in 2017 after a brave battle to Joshua, that saw the Brit victorious in round 11.
But after almost three years retired, Klitschko bizarrely asked fans who they would most like him to fight next.
In three separate tweets he teased fights with the divisions elite.
Out of the three tweets, the Joshua rematch gained the least likes.
