 Klitschko postponed the fight, scheduled for Sept. 6, last week,
saying he had torn bicep muscles during training in Austria.
Earlier this week, the 38-year-old Ukrainian said the contest would
now take place at the same venue on Nov. 15.
"It's complete nonsense," Pulev told local media on Friday. "If it's
a slight injury, you know what medicine can do today and he has a
good staff of specialists, he would have been able to recover in
time.
"If it's a serious injury he won't recover before Nov. 15. It's a
fake injury.
"He knows it's not in his interest to fight. He knows there's a high
risk as there's a huge possibility of losing," added Pulev.
"I'm a big threat but I'll continue chasing my goal and I'll be even
better prepared."
Klitschko also holds the WBO, WBA and IBO belts and has won 62 of
his 65 bouts.
