British boxing fans are set for a busy night as two major fights take place across the country. Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson meet for the second time in Manchester, while Chris Billam-Smith takes on Cheavon Clarke in London.
Buatsi vs Hutchinson: A Rivalry Renewed
Buatsi and Hutchinson square off at the AO Arena in Manchester, with the vacant WBC light-heavyweight title on the line. Buatsi holds the edge from their first meeting two years ago, when he outscored his opponent. Since then, the 33-year-old has suffered a defeat to Callum Smith but comes into this bout on the back of a narrow win over Zach Parker. Hutchinson, meanwhile, has recorded back-to-back victories.
The main card is scheduled to begin at 7pm GMT. Hutchinson is expected to make his ring walk at approximately 10pm GMT, with Buatsi following shortly after. The fight could start earlier if the undercard bouts finish ahead of schedule.
