Joshua Buatsi v Zach Parker

**Master** · 10-28-2025 11:18 AM

Joshua Buatsi will come face-to-face with fellow British boxer Zach Parker this weekend.

It is a battle between two of Queensbury's men, and is taking place in Manchester with both looking for a light-heavyweight title shot.

Buatsi was stunned in Saudi Arabia by Callum Smith in February to suffer the first defeat of his professional career.

It was a set back for the 32-year-old, but he is ready to start building again and try to be in a position to fight for a world title.

Meanwhile, Parker has been steadily climbing the rankings after losing an interim WBO belt fight to John Ryder in 2022.

The 31-year-old was forced to retire from the contest after breaking his hand, but he's won four in a row since then.

This 10-round light-heavyweight contest will take place on Saturday, November 1.

I have been impressed with Buatsi and this should be a good test for him against Parker. He is working with Vigill Hunter and looks in good form as does Parker.

Cancelled Dazn today so might try for a stream for this one. Figure Buatsi coming motivated and outclassing Parker. 175 is in a weird spot but there's dust to settle with Benavidez-Yarde and hopes for Bivol-Beterbiev III finally, maybe happening. Smith-Buatsi II is a must have after this I'd imagine.

Callum Smith was offered a fight against Benavides but turned it down as the money was less than he got for Buatsi, which means they were overpaid by Turki.

Yarde took up the offer.

I think Buasti v Yarde is inevitable now that they are under the same company.

Another egg slap on the undercard to get you interested in the fight. Hope Billy tortures and humiliates Ezra after that cheap stunt.

Liam Cameron, the boxer who fought Ben Whittaker to a draw and lost the rematch, having a hard time against Troy Jones.

Missed it but surprised to see the robbery talk? Sounds like a pretty uninspired performance from Buatsi and coin flip type decision. Wonder is Smith is regretting not going straight into a Benavidez fight.
