In the lead-up to the highly anticipated boxing match between Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez, both fighters successfully made weight for their WBA light heavyweight eliminator bout. Joshua Buatsi weighed in at 174 pounds, just under the 175-pound limit, while his opponent Dan Azeez achieved a career-lightest weight of 172.3 pounds. The weigh-in event was not without its drama, as Azeez arrived late, causing some tension with Buatsi. The fight is set to take place tonight, with both British light-heavyweights undefeated and vying for a shot at a world title. On the undercard, Ben Whittaker improved to 6-0 with 5 stoppages after defeating Khalid Graidia, and Adam Azim retained his European junior welterweight title with a KO against Enock Poulsen, who injured his shoulder. The event is being broadcast live on Sky Sports.
