Two of Britain's best light-heavyweight boxers step into the ring tonight at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London as they look to earn a world title fight.
Joshua Buatsi, who once held the WBA International light-heavyweight belt and has yet to taste professional defeat, last saw action in August 2021 to defeat Ricards Bolotniks.
Craig Richards secured the British title in December 2020 but then lost to Dmitry Bivol in May 2021. Last October he bounced back from that loss with a win against Marek Matyja.
