JOSHUA BUATSI will face his greatest test when he faces Craig Richards at the O2 Arena in South London.
Rio Olympian 2016 has had a relatively trouble-free career and is undefeated after 15 fights.
Joshua Buatsi faces Craig Richards in a major domestic clash
Richards has a record 17-2. His most recent loss was last year to Dmitry Bivol. Bivol just defeated Canelo alvarez.
Bivol was a former British light-heavyweight champion and he believed he would be too strong for Buatsi.
Buatsi's career has been stalled many times because of injury. But, the 29-year old hopes to be fighting in the next 12 month for a world title.
Richards is determined to do the same and will try to stop his South Londoner counterpart's plans.
