Two years on from their first fight, Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson will meet in a rematch that is expected to be one of the domestic clashes of the year.

In 2024, Buatsi overcame his British rival on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s loss to Daniel Dubois , dropping Hutchinson twice and winning a decision – with Hutchinson docked a point along the way.

Since then, both boxers have fought twice, with Scotland’s Hutchinson going 2-0 and Buatsi going 1-1. The Londoner suffered his first professional loss when he was outpointed by Callum Smith in a fight of the year contender , but he bounced back with a narrow decision win over Zach Parker .

Now Buatsi, 33, and Hutchinson, 28, will square off again, with the oddsmakers deeming the rematch a 50-50 fight. And to up the stakes, the vacant WBC light-heavyweight title will be on the line this time.
