    Joshua Buatsi vs Ricards Bolotniks: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for light-heavyweight clash

    JOSHUA BUATSI is back in action this weekend as he takes on Ricards Bolotniks in a big step-up bout at Fight Camp. Buatsi hasn’t been in the ring since his huge KO win over Daniel Dos Santos back in May and he’ll be looking to make a big statement in his return.

    πŸ₯ŠπŸ“Ί Watch Buatsi vs Bolotniks live on DAZN for Β£1.99 πŸ“ΊπŸ₯Š
    Under the tutelage of trainer Virgil Hunter, Buatsi will be looking for a world title shot in the next year, and a win over Bolotniks would prepare him aptly.
    Bolotniks, however, comes with big fight experience, having won MTK’s Golden Contract tournament last year.
    When is Buatsi vs Bolotniks?

    Buatsi’s big light-heavyweight clash with Bolotniks will take place on Saturday, August 14.
    The main event is expected to get going from around 10-10.30pm UK time.
    The bout will take place at Fight Camp at Matchroom HQ in Brentwood, Essex.
    There will be around 300 fans in attendance at the event.

    What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

    Buatsi vs Bolotniks will be shown live on DAZN in the UK.

    What has been said?
    β€œI’m ready to fight. The thing is, there may be a target on me, Eddie, but I’m really from the bottom, so the build-up is great, but that’s not my mentality,” Buatsi said.
    “I started from nothing as well, moved from Ghana to England. I’ve also come from nothing.
    “I always tell people when I fight, I’ve got nothing to lose, I’m gaining everything, and when I go in there, the mentally is different.
    “I’ll be there to fight to, and I’m there to fight and protect the little that I have.” More

    Watch Alen Babic propose to partner live on DAZN in front of interviewer Laura Woods after stopping Mark Bennett

    And afterwards, he celebrated in style by tying the knot with his girlfriend.
    Babic, 30, said: “Just look at the screen, there’s going to be a picture for you. Just look at that.”
    The screen read: “Lady savage… will you marry the savage?”
    Babic, managed by heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte, then got on one knee and pulled out a ring and got the all important yes.
    The heavyweight prospect took five rounds to beat former army soldier Bennet.
    In the main event, Kid Galahad beat Jazza Dickens in the 11th round to win the vacant IBF world featherweight title.
    Galahad, 31, who lost to Josh Warrington, 30, when challenging for the same belt in 2019, called for a rematch.
    He said: “It’s unbelievable. After 19 years’ hard work, I’ve finally got the title round my waist. It’s been a long time.
    “I didn’t want to leave it to the referees or judges. Now I want to win a couple more titles and unify the division.

    “If I fight Warrington, he’s not going 12 rounds.”
    Dillian Whyte told the BBC: “Dickens is a brave man but I think they made him take too much punishment.
    “His nose went, his eyes went, but his corner should have protected him better tonight.” More

    Alen Babic and Mark Bennett get into SLAP fight at weigh-in as security forced to step in and separate boxers

    ALEN BABIC and Mark Bennett got into a SLAP fight at their weigh-in as security were forced to step in and separate the heavyweight pair. They feature in the second instalment of Eddie Hearn’s ‘Fight Camp’, staged in the promoter’s Essex back garden.

    Babic is renowned for his unpredictable character, but it was former army soldier Bennett who caught him by surprise.
    The Brit, who toured in Afghanistan, touched Babic’s mask which prompted Croatian to give him a little slap to the face.
    But Bennett returned fire which a much meatier slap, which prompted security to intervene before all hell broke loose.
    Babic is 7-0, all by knockout, and has never gone past the third round.
    But Bennett, 7-1, remains unfazed and accused his rival of ‘pulling people off the settee’ in the past.
    He said: β€œI do think that I’ve got a bit of an advantage over his previous opponents. For one, I’ve had seven weeks’ notice.
    “I’ve been at it for the last seven weeks in the gym training hard. I’m bigger as well. I’ll tell you the truth – I’m there to fight.
    “I’m turning up on Saturday night to actually have a fight. I’m not just turning up to take a payday. We’re going to have a good tear up.Β

    β€œI know he’s had seven fights. He’s doing alright. I don’t think he has given any of his opponents decent notice.
    “I just think he’s been pulling people off the settee. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s got good stock.
    “When I win it will raise my stock massively. I want to be active.
    “Hopefully I get signed to someone and we can go from there and get some bigger fights on a decent platform. That’s the dream.
