When a big fight falls apart at the last minute, the undercard fighters are usually the fall guys. When the eagerly awaited WBA light heavyweight title eliminator between Dan Azeez and Joshua Buatsi was postponed earlier this week, it would have been no surprise had the entire show been shelved.

Boxxer has revealed that the showdown between Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez will be rescheduled to a new date at The O2 in London. The bout between the #1 and #2 ranked light heavyweights, under the WBA, had been due to take place this Saturday but is now being postponed due to an injury suffered by Azeez in his final training session.
