Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez, the top-ranked light heavyweights in the world, will face off in the WBA World Title Final Eliminator on Saturday, February 3. The fight will be shown live and exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Peacock in the USA.
Azeez (20-0, 13 KOs) and Buatsi (17-0, 3 KOs) were scheduled to square off at The O2 on October 21st; however, Azeez's back ailment sustained during his last training session necessitated the postponing of their all-British bout. There are no longer any dates available at The O2, thus the game has been rescheduled to take place in The OVO Arena, Wembley.
