"While the titles are tied up, let's do it," Joshua Buatsi urged Anthony Yarde to a fight
Posted : 10 May 2023
Anthony Yarde, a Joshua Buatsi opponent from London, wants to fight as soon as feasible.
Yarde, a two-time contender for the world title, most recently fell to Artur Beterbiev, the reigning unified champion. Even so, it was still a respectable performance vs the formidable light-heavyweight world champion.
Pawel Stepien, a 175-pound competitor from Poland, was defeated by Croydon's Buatsi by a unanimous Birmingham decision last weekend.
Similar to Buatsi, Stepien is highly regarded by organisations that sanction world titles, therefore defeating him would prepare the Croydon man for a championship challenge.
To compete for one of the four main world titles, he would have to wait, though.
IBF, WBO, and WBC champion Beterbiev is scheduled to face Callum Smith of Liverpool, while WBA champion Dmitry Bivol is considering his options, which may include a rematch with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
As a result, Buatsi thinks the moment is right to take on Yarde, a rival London light-heavyweight.
