a light-heavyweight headliner for week three.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hearn also has several fighters pencilled in for week three but the only legible name is that of Natasha Jonas who could return following back-to-back world title fights against Terri Harper and Katie Taylor.

[maverick23]

I like the Buatsi fight. Bolotniks is a solid European level fighter.

I think Michael McKinson is on there. There is a "Marshall?" (Including the question mark). Then there's one more I can't read which looks like it starts with an E/B/D. There's also something to the right beginning with a C, on week two it says Josh Warrington, so this might be another name for week three.

[Offthehook]

really looking forward to this fight. Buatsi for me is the best light heavy in the country, and has looked ruthless thus far. Bolotniks is in good form, and it will be a good fight, but Buatsi will probably win by kayo or tko mid to late

[stujones]

Buatsi should be fighting for a world title before the year is out ....being moved along too slowly

Difficult to tell because of his competition. Hopefully this upcoming fight should give us more of an idea. A good follow up opponent would be Arthur or Johnson, though I'm sure it would be difficult to make. But he would need a big name or a veteran in the top 15 for us to get an idea as to what he could do against the top 5.

Some of the names, just on experience alone would make it difficult.

I think he beats Lyndon easily. Not sure how Arthur is ranked number 8 in those rankings that's very generous IMO.

Bolotniks Wants To Have a Memorable Battle With Joshua Buatsi

Latvian star Ricards Bolotniks has had a torrid time with fight dates this year but on August 14 he gets to showcase his skills on the biggest stage when he meets Joshua Buatsi at Fight Camp.

“Already this year I’ve had two fights cancelled and then boom, Joshua Buatsi! It’s great, it’s brilliant. I’m happy of course, it’s a big, massive fight. We fight for the belt, the WBA [International], so it’s a massive fight and I’m happy,”

‘The Lion’ has been deep in camp for most of 2021 and he predicted he would cross paths with the man from Croydon.

“We’ve been looking at him for half a year. We’ve been training for five, six months only for him, we knew some time we would meet each other so I have been ready for him for six months," Bolotniks told proboxing-fans.com.

Bolotniks has recently found success in the MTK Golden Contract where he has become a familiar name amongst the British boxing fans and he is looking forward to the test of Joshua Buatsi.

“I think it will be one of my hardest fights," Bolotniks said.

“I want all 12 rounds and I want to really fight, I want a street fight in that ring on that night. I don’t want just one, two, three, four, five rounds, no, I want to feel everything from him and myself. When I finish the fight I come to the dressing room and I will sit and say, ‘yeah, we did that,’ I want that [kind of] fight.”

Ricards has watched Buatsi from afar all his career and admits he has grown as a fighter whilst collecting titles throughout his early professional fighting life but the savvy Latvian knows you’re only as good as your last fight so will only be focusing on Buatsi from his recent bouts.

“I think Buatsi is different now to what he was before like everyone else. We change when we fight so we are only looking at his last two, three fights.”

The 31-year-old has all the motivation he needs heading into this bout. Buatsi uses the moniker of Just Business and that is exactly what it is for Bolotniks too.

“My wife and my family. I am fighting for my wife, my family, my mother, my father, my country - and money, of course! I’m not that kind of guy to say we don’t need money only belts, listen I need to buy food, pay for the house, clothes so of course I am fighting for money.”

[margaret thatcher]

gawd i love myself some ricky bolotniks, buatsi probably will be too much but these 2 warriors gonna throw down

[emallini]
