Joshua Buatsi is already eyeing another fight against Dimitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev. This fight, billed as a light-heavyweight unification fight, will be in Saudi Arabia in October. Still, before Buatsi starts thinking about that, he will have to overcome an obstacle named Willy Hutchinson.
The fight against Willy will be interesting, and both fighters are very dangerous. This tournament will increase the popularity of boxing in the Middle East region. Let’s dive into the story to learn about Joshua Buatsi’s next opponent and his struggles.
Hutchinson: A Real Threat
The former European Junior and World Youth Amateur winner, Willy Hutchinson could pose a serious threat to Joshua Buatsi when they fight in three weeks. Weight difficulties nearly have given Hutchinson issues, and he has since transitioned to light-heavyweight and appears to be much happier fighting at that weight class.
While five years younger than Buatsi, Hutchinson has been in the ring 19 times, one fight more than Buatsi. Another strength of Willy is being a natural fighter with fast hands and solid punches. This would be benefit him in confronting Buatsi.
Joshua Buatsi’s Recent Struggles
Buatsi, a G-bronze medallist in the Rio Olympics began his professional journey with high acclaim, touted as a rising superstar. In recent years, he has continued to progress, but the improvements have slowed down. The knockouts that used to be very frequent are less so due to him fighting higher levels of competition and competing third times in the year 2021 and the subsequent years.
Joshua Buatsi is a notorious puncher, and many people believe that he will put Hutchinson on the canvass, but Hutchinson is fast and technical. It is almost impossible to win the match in the late rounds if a fighter lags in the initial rounds. This might work against Buatsi.
The Need for Urgency
This fight must start with aggressiveness from Joshua Buatsi because that will enable him to secure an early knockout. Hutchinson is a good mover who packs a pretty good punch, so to be able to oust him means one has to throw punches from the word go. He has all the attributes of a winner in the ring in terms of strength, power, and tenacity but he has lacked something in his recent battles.
In this case, he is required to come in higher as a boxer to be explosive, and not be defensive but rather dominate the fight. If he does not, he has the potential to beat the young and aspiring Hutchinson who thinks he can beat anyone.
This fight should be a peak fight in Joshua’s career. He still can become a world champion. If he can beat Hutchinson, he can start looking forward to fighting Bivol or Beterbiev.
