Joshua Buatsi vs. Anthony Yarde: Hearn To Make "Big Offer"

[smashup]

I rate both guys very highly and with the right match making they can become world champions.

Buatsi is better technical fighter and has the all round game but Yarde has the "roy jones" unorthodox style to win.

Brilliant fight.

These are 2 good guys, and this is a great domestic match up, but you do realise the Light Heavyweight Division at World level is pretty damn high quality?

Buatsi is ranked something like 84 in the World with Yarde around 12 or 15 roughly i think? Buatsi asking for this fight after only 6 fights shows his self belief and iv'e been telling anyone who'll listen he's going all the way to the top.
Clever fighter who has every punch in the book with brutal body shots and a sledgehammer jab, fights as well on the inside as he does at range.
This kids special which is why Mayweather was after him and Anthony Joshua got him

And for me this is potentially the best domestic fight we could see in 2018, 2 attacking undefeated young Brits with huge potential.

Let's just hope that the Warren v Hearn/ Sky v BT egos and politics don't get in the way of this one happening.

I like what I see with Buatsi. Unusual for prospects to clash this early but I like to see it, when it does occur. Let's hope they can get it done.

I thought he was with Eddie not AJ?

Normally the low ranked fighter wants to initiate the fight and the higher ranked fighter ducks the offer.

So Warren will turn this down.

AJ is his manager, Hearn promotes him.

Yarde is already saying "I want this fight but it's a further down the line fight"

Looks like Buatsi wants it way more than Yarde.

I like both fighters, do not know who I will support.

Heard buatsi on radio 5 live and he came across really well and likeable. So became a fan of his.

[smashup]

Yeah he's got his head screwed on Buatsi, after the 2016 Olympics he was getting offers from everyone, Mayweather, Warren, Hearn, the lot but he stalled all of them and went back to University to finish his degree.

His Jab is being likened to Ike Quarteys Bazooka jab by a lot of pundits and for me his 'in fighting' is a cross between Hagler and Holyfield - Put all that together you got a lethal fighting machine, more so if he proves to have a solid chin

As we suspected......

Warren responded by saying: "What I suggest Eddie Hearn does is do what I'd do. He's moaning about nobody will fight Hosea Burton. So why doesn't he put Buatsi in with Hosea Burton and let the winner fight (British and Commonwealth light heavyweight champion) Callum Johnson? He's got those three fighters, and by the time those happen my guy [Yarde] is there and it'd be a big fight. And we'll make the winner of those three a big offer."

So Warren wants Eddie to let his 3 prospects fight and beat one another and then the winner fights Yarde.

Clever way to say, no.
