Queensberry Signs Joshua Buatsi: Can Frank Warren revive a former Olympian fading career?

Queensberry has signed a lightweight heavyweight rival Joshua Buatsi in their stable. Former WBO’s temporary 175 -pound champion and the 2016 Olympic BUatsi battles will now be broadcast live on Dazna.

Buatsi concerns about performance

Queensbury advertiser Frank Warren has high hopes for 32 -year -old Buatsi, despite his bad shows in his last two battles against Callum Smith and Willy Hutchinson. Buatsi felt in both battles but were lucky with victory over Hutchinson.

Warren has the idea of potentially coordinating Buatsi against David Benavideza against Anthony Jarde’s fight winner on November 22 for the WBC lightweight heavyweight title or Dmitry Bivola against Arthur Beterbiev’s trilogy. Buatsi is unlikely to get a shot against any of these battles.

Joshua Buatsi Popularity Problem

The problem is that Buatsi has never been a popular fighter, and he has had problems in the last two battles. He is not considered a mandatory opponent who wants Benavidez or Bivola to fight. Buatsi is considered a regular British local fighter. There is nothing special in him. Surprisingly, Warren chose to sign him after his horrendous loss to Callum Smith. After this fight, he looked ready for a scrap pile.

Fori Profile Increasing

Warren has to put buatsi through a The tastes of predatory sharks at the age of 175 To be interested in fans to be used for the world title shot. Fight guys like Craig Richards, Hutchins, Smith and Dan Azeez are enough. Buatsi have to deal with talented younger fighters, such as David Morrel and Imam Khatev.

If he can’t get them, Warren has to pull some of the super average scales, such as Oslley Iglesias, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli to 175 to fight Buatsi. I do not see how he beats any of these super average scales, but these are the types of fighters he needs to fight to become more popular.

“After speech with a number of promoters, Queensberry is a plan with which I am comfortable. I’m a British fighter, and the support I get from Britain fans means everything,” said Joshua Buatsi.

“There is nothing like a fight in front of a crowd – energy, passion, it is exciting me. With Queensberry, I have a team that understands it and supports me rightly here in Britain.”
