After Callum Johnson vacated his title of the British Light Heavyweight belt, Joshua Buatsi has been ordered to fight for it against the fighter Liam Conroy.
Joshua Buatsi was the initial contender for the fight against Callum Johnson in coming November from BBB of C (British Boxing Board of Control). However the champion Johnson has now relinquished his belt after the talks of his big fight against the American fighter Sean Monaghan.
As for Joshua Buatsi, he has been gaining popularity after he defeated Renold Quinlan in under two minutes during their fight at O2 last month. This was his third successive stoppage victory in the opening round.
The Olympic bronze medalist ahead of his fight against Conroy holds a professional record of 9 unbeaten fights. As for Conroy, he stopped Miles Shinkwin when he fought to defend his belt in the last fight back in March of 2018.
Discussing Johnson’s upcoming fight, his trainer Joe Gallagher told media. “If there is a meaningful fight over there for Callum to get ranking, then we will, of course, handle that and we will ales give up the British title. However if there is nothing there worth fighting for, then we will not give up the British title and will be prepared for fighting against Joshua Buatsi.”
