Joshua Buatsi defeated Craig Richards by unanimous decision in their World Boxing Association (WBA) light heavyweight eliminator fight on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, England.

The scorecards for the fight were 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113, giving the victory to the 175-pound prospect, who continues to make progress in his goal of becoming a world champion. 

Buatsi knew what he was up against against a veteran like Richards. It would be a tough fight in which his opponent would stand toe to toe and make the night difficult for the 29-year-old fighter.

It was a bout with a lot of exchanges and great moments worthy of a star fight of a big event like the one organized by Matchroom Boxing. Buatsi proved he was up for the challenge and was able to overcome a great opponent. 

The Rio 2016 bronze medalist’s professional undefeated streak remains. He has now won 16 fights, with 13 knockouts. Richards left his record at 17 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw and 10 knockouts.
