Joshua Buatsi will be facing light heavyweight contender Zach Parker in a 12-round Queensberry-promoted triple header on November 1st at the Co-op Live in Manchester, England. The event will be shown live on DAZN.
The 2016 Olympian Buatsi (19-1, 13 KOs) recently signed with Queensberry, and they’re putting him in a position where he can get a win under his belt to bounce back from his recent defeat against Callum Smith.
Buatsi was matched tough in his last two fights, going up against Smith and Willy Hutchinson in back-to-back fights. He barely got through the Hutchinson fight and then fell apart against Callum. Queensberry’s decision to match Buatsi against the very beatable Parker (26-1, 18 KOs) allows him to take a break from the grind.
New signing Buatsi (19-1, 13 KOs) takes on another mighty domestic showdown against another Queensberry man in Zach Parker (26-1, 18 KOs)
Buatsi is ranked #6 WBC and #7 WBO. He wants to get a title shot, but he’s not going to do that without going through someone tough, like David Morrell, Imam Khataev, Arlen Lopez, or Ben Whittaker.
Parker is ranked #4 WBO, #12 WBC, and #13 IBF. He’s won his last four fights against domestic-level opposition since losing to John Ryder in 2022.
