Weigh-in Alert: Joshua Buatsi vs. Dan Azeez and undercard ready for war in London
Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez (rated at No. 5 and 6 by The Ring at light heavyweight, respectively) both made weight today ahead of Saturday’s much anticipated showdown between these two unbeaten contenders at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Peacock in the USA.
A decade-long friendship will be put to one side when Buatsi and Azeez meet at the OVO Arena Wembley in London on Saturday February 3rd. Although both fighters started their journey at the same South London amateur boxing club, two very different paths have set them on a collision course. Now in their prime, both men are ready to put it all on the line for bragging rights and a shot at world honours.
