Both fighters started off in a low-note, but Joshua managed to get over Pulev and later won the bout in the 9th round..
The two men were scheduled to fight twice before but both times the bout was postponed -- in 2017 Pulev was injured and Covid-19 saw the fight postponed in June.
Joshua's record now stands at 24-1 and next up could be a highly-anticipated title unification clash with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
