Bivol-Buatsi in autumn in London?

Eddie Hearn is planning a fight between the WBA light heavyweight champion this fall Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs) and Joshua Buatsy (16-0, 13 KOs). The fight may take place at Matchroom Boxing in London.

The Briton takes third place in the latest ranking of the World Boxing Association. Gilberto Ramirez recently defeated Dominic Bozel in a qualifying match, but the Association has not yet announced official dates for the boxers.

In his last appearance in the ring, Buatsy beat Craig Richards on points, and this will be his first duel for the championship belt in his career. In early May, Bivol beat Saul Alvarez on points and is obliged to have a rematch with the Mexican, but this will not happen earlier than in a year.
