Anthony Yarde and Joshua Buatsi remain in contact regarding a potential future fight

Having handled Craig Richards in June's "5 vs 5," Willy Hutchinson is "bundling with confidence" as he gears up to face British and Commonwealth champion Joshua Buatsi at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sept. 21.

Purse bids for the interim WBO light heavyweight title between Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson will take place on June 24 at 11am Eastern.

If things had gone to plan, Joshua Buatsi would have been walking out at Selhurst Park for a long awaited fight with Anthony Yarde on Saturday night.

The British Boxing Board of Control’s decision to order a British light heavyweight title fight between champion Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yarde was the headline news of a busy championship circular.

Queensberry moved quickly to capitalise on Willy Hutchinson’s impressive victory over Craig Richards on Saturday night. Within 24 hours, Andy Ayling e-mailed the WBO to request that Hutchinson, who sits at number six in the WBO rankings, be considered to fight number one-ranked Joshua Buatsi for their Interim light heavyweight title. Ayling cited that Hutchinson would be “immediately available, ready, willing, and able” to take on Buatsi.

Seeking to arrange an interim light-heavyweight title bout, the World Boxing Organization moved Wednesday to clarify the dispute between light-heavyweight Anthony Yarde and promoter Frank Warren.
