Anthony Yard, British light heavyweight boxer, and Joshua Buatsi, the mandatory challenger for the WBO light heavyweight world champion belt, confirmed their desire to fight this year.
“I would have stayed home if I wasn’t interested. I'm here because I believe our fight should be next. “I’m ready for this fight and I think his team thinks the same,” Buatsi said.
“We both respect each other, but we are fighters and we both agreed to do the fight. As for me, I am ready at any moment. It’s all about reaching agreements,” Yard responded.
Let us remember that Yarde previously stated that he wants to fight Buatsi or Smith.
