Joshua Buatsi and Craig Richards were face to face at the final press conference for their World Boxing Association (WBA) light heavyweight eliminator fight, which will be next Saturday in London, England.

They spoke to the press together with all the fighters who will fight in the Matchroom Boxing event and were very motivated for the bout. 

Buatsi promised another great performance and assured that he will continue to grow to be one of the best 175-pounders in the world.

Richards, for his part, emphasized that he has worked hard for this fight and that he wants to leave a great performance to surprise everyone against a great prospect like Buatsi. 

This Friday they will go to the scales for the weigh-in, which is the last step before the fight. Once that step is completed they will be ready for their eliminator.
