Is Joshua Buatsi closer to a title shot?
Joshua Buatsi and Craig Richards had a lot on the line Saturday when they squared off in a pivotal light-heavyweight clash from the O2 Arena in London. 

What we got was an action-packed fight between the two British light-heavyweights, but it was the skill of Buatsi that proved to be too much as he won by unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 115-113). DAZN had it scored 116-112 for Buatsi.

The bout was a WBA title eliminator. With Richards out of the way, Buatsi (16-0, 13 KOs) made it clear that he's ready for a title shot against WBA (super) champion Dmitry Bivol. 

"I want the world title shot next, Buatsi bluntly said in his post-fight interview. 

It is unknown as to what Bivol is going to do next after upsetting Canelo Alvarez at the beginning of May. Alvarez has a rematch clause, but he hasn't declared what he'll do next. 

Here's what happened between Joshua Buatsi and Craig Richards.
