Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson will go head to head on this weekend’s card headlined by Daniel Dubois vs Anthony Joshua.
Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson met for a face to face meeting with DAZN and it wasn’t all that long before tensions flared between the two. Buatsi denied claims of Hutchinson supposedly handing him a beating in a past sparring session, and then Hutchinson got annoyed by Buatsi’s insinuations in return. But when asked specifically about how this stokes the fires of their impending fight, both fighters gave their impressions.
“I don’t need nothing to fuel what I’ve signed up for,” Buatsi said. “I know what I’ve signed up for so it’s not, ‘oh this is going to give you more energy, more fuel in camp’ — no, there’s none of that.”
“This is everyday for me,” Hutchinson would said in response. “There’s nothing new here. I do [expect a knockout], I genuinely do. And I believe it’s an easier fight than Craig Richards. I said it all the last time…he was smiling in my face, he was laughing, just like (Buatsi) is doing right now.
“Exactly what I said, is a done. The only thing that I didn’t do with him is knock him out, but however he stayed up, I do not know. And he’s an easier fight than Craig Richards, one thousand million percent. Stylistically, for me, I’ll get him a lot easier than I got the other one.”
