The undefeated WBA light-heavyweight champion, Joshua Buatsi, is intensifying his preparations for the highly anticipated bout against his Nigerian-British opponent, Dan Azeez, at the OVO Arena in London. Originally slated for October last year, the WBA world title eliminator was postponed, heightening the anticipation for their clash on Sunday, February 3.

Both boxers, ranked among the top five in the world, set aside their friendship to pursue greatness in the ring. In a recent face-off at Wembley Arena, Buatsi expressed the significance of the upcoming fight, stating, “These are the nights I dreamt of.” The British-Ghanaian emphasized the necessity of winning against his friend-turned-opponent to stay on track for a shot at a world title.

Joshua Buatsi boasts an impeccable record with a 17-0-0 streak in his professional boxing career, having secured victory in all 17 bouts, including 13 wins by knockout, showcasing a remarkable 76.5% knockout ratio.

His opponent, 34-year-old Nigerian-British boxer Dan Azeez, brings an impressive 20-0-0 streak to the ring, having navigated various arenas in his boxing journey. The clash promises to be mentally challenging for both fighters as they vie for victory and a potential shot at a world title.

Amidst the fierce competition, Buatsi plans to showcase his Ghanaian heritage with a custom kit and a specially produced soundtrack by one of Ghana’s renowned music producers for his ring walk at the OVO Arena. The Saturday night event is set to be a spectacle of skill, determination, and the rich cultural heritage of the fighters involved.
