October 21 in London at the Boxxer evening Joshua Buatsy (17-0, 13 KOs) will fight the former European light heavyweight champion Dan Aziz (19-0, 13 KOs). Earlier it was reported that the fight will take place on the first weekend of August.

Thus, the 30-year-old Buatsi will fight for the second time after signing a contract with Ben Shalom's group. In early May, the Englishman won on points against Pavel Stepin.

Aziz last fought in March, defeating Thomas Faure by TKO. Previously, the former EBU belt holder also won against Rocky Fielding, among others. The Buatsi-Aziz fight will be a qualifier for the WBA light heavyweight belt, which belongs to Dmitry Bivol.
