The head of the promotional organization Matchroom Boxing wants this tournament to be one of the test events of the new security system being implemented for fans at sports facilities. Such tests were supposed to happen in August, but the rise in the number of coronavirus infections in the UK forced organizers to change plans.
Joshua Buatsi (12-0, 10 KOs) may take part in the main event of the evening, scheduled for the last Saturday of September. The last time the 27-year-old boxer competed was a year ago. He defeated Ryan Ford. Possible permission for spectators to participate in this event is expected in the coming days.
