The camps have ten days to negotiate an agreement. If no deal is reached, the committee will order a purse bid with a minimum bid of $300,000.

This is a big fight in England and I think it’s will almost as good as beterbiev and bivol. It’s that kind of fight. Notice, I say almost as good! A definite must see.
It’s a natural fight. They were already trying to make it as far as I know. I think the WBO just went ahead and sweetened the deal for them.
Most definitely Lucie, after buatisi’s last win, it was in the cards to be put together. I’m looking forward to this one.
Buatsi’s allround ability will neutralize Yarde’s power. Yarde also gasses late in the fight (maybe because of his muscle mass),Buatsi has shown a whole lot of stamina late in hard action fights. Buatsi by late stoppage.
Yarde in a big fight again, good managers, not bad fighter though.
