Panel: Is Joshua Buatsi ready for Dmitry Bivol in his next fight?

Bradley Skeete
Former British champion

After Joshua Buatsiโ€™s last performance I think he is ready for Dmitry Bivol next. He proved heโ€™s got a good chin and can carry his power into the championship rounds.

I think he will do very well against Bivol right now but I would like to see Buatsi have more fights, make more money, build his name more. Thereโ€™s no rush.

Buatsi needs a fight or two in the interim as Dmitry Bivol is world class. Bivol will find those defensive holes and will capitalise on them. JB has to tighten up his defence if he wants to challenge those kind of fighters.

No less ready than Craig Richards was but I believe another fight against someone like Badou Jack will hold him in good stead not only for Bivol but the potential defences that would follow. I still donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a major rush, heโ€™s 28. Itโ€™s not just about getting there but staying there.
