When Joshua Buatsi sat back and surveyed the light heavyweight landscape after his decision victory over Dan Azeez in February, the picture couldn’t have looked much better. With the WBO, WBC and IBF 175-pound champion Artur Beterbiev set to unify the division against his WBA counterpart Dmitry Bivol, and a WBO interim title fight with Yarde seemingly secured, the 31-year-old’s frustratingly stop-start career finally seemed to have some real momentum.

Thirteen years after losing to Abner Mares, Joseph Agbeko believes he shouldn’t have taken the rematch. Agbeko (38-5, 28 KOs) lost his 118-pound title to Mares in a Showtime bantamweight tournament in August 2011. Agbeko was on the receiving end of two questionable knockdown calls, which was the difference in a 113-113, 115-111 and 115-111 majority decision for Mares.
