Joshua Buatsi has agreed to a British battle against Willy Hutchinson with the winner staying on course for a world light-heavyweight title fight.
Buatsi has been ordered to fight Hutchinson for the WBO interim belt and could emerge as a leading challenger ahead of the rescheduled undisputed world title clash between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. A purse bid had been called to establish terms for Buatsi vs Hutchinson, but the WBO has announced that a deal has now been reached, with a date and venue to be confirmed. Hutchinson pulled off a career-best victory earlier this month, defeating Craig Richards on points in Saudi Arabia.
