Anthony Yarde rebounded from his bruising defeat to Artur Beterbiev on Saturday night, breezing past the overmatched Jorge Silva inside two rounds.

Frank Warren believes a fight between Anthony Yarde and Joshua Buatsi is a big one for Britain. The Queensberry head honcho said recently that the Ilford light-heavyweight was “the best guy out there” outside of the two current world champions in the division.

Light heavyweight contender Anthony Yarde expects a showdown with domestic rival Joshua Buatsi to come off in the future. Yarde challenged unified champion Artur Beterbiev earlier this year. He gave Beterbiev all he could handle before suffering a stoppage loss. He will attempt to bounce back next month, when he takes on Ricky Summers.

Buatsi, Azeez Final Press Conference Photos Gallery - A decade-long friendship will be put to one side on Saturday, October 21st when top light-heavyweights Joshua Buatsi (17-0, 13 KO’s) and ‘Super’ Dan Azeez (19-0, 13 KO’s) meet in storied London arena The O2 in an unbeaten all-domestic clash.

Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez now have a confirmed fight date. The pair of unbeaten light heavyweights have agreed to terms for a WBA light heavyweight eliminator, which will headline an October 21 Sky Sports show from The O2 in London.

Promoter Ben Shalom of Boxxer is standing firm that light heavyweights Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez will collide in a WBA world title eliminator. BoxingScene.com reported last month that Buatsi and Azeez would face each other.

Ben Shalom is confident that Dan Azeez will be fighting Joshua Buatsi—not Dmitry Bivol—in his next fight. Confusion abounded earlier this month when a press release circulated stating that British countrymen Buatsi and Azeez would be fighting in a light heavyweight eliminator for the WBA belt, held by Russia’s Bivol, in the fall.

Dmitry Bivol is looking to get his career back on track after the fallout with Canelo Alvarez. Bivol, the light heavyweight titlist from Russia, had been in negotiations to fight Alvarez in a rematch of their 175-pound title fight last year, which Bivol won by unanimous decision.
