Joshua Buatsi Joins Queensberry Promotions: A New Chapter in UK Boxing

Joshua Buatsi signs with Queensberry Promotions, aiming for a world title shot with strong UK support.

Joshua Buatsi's Strategic Move to Queensberry Promotions

Joshua Buatsi, the renowned British light-heavyweight boxer, has officially signed a promotional deal with Queensberry Promotions. This move marks a significant shift in Buatsi's career, as he transitions from Ben Shalom's Boxxer to Frank Warren's esteemed promotional outfit.

Buatsi's Career Highlights

Buatsi, who won a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, has an impressive professional record of 19 wins. Despite his recent loss to Callum Smith in February, Buatsi remains a top contender in the light-heavyweight division. His decision to join Queensberry Promotions is driven by a clear and comfortable plan that aligns with his career goals.

The Importance of UK Support

"After speaking with multiple promoters, Queensberry has a plan I'm comfortable with," Buatsi stated. "I'm a British fighter, and the support I get from UK fans means everything. There's nothing like fighting in front of a home crowd - the energy, the passion, it drives me. With Queensberry, I've got a team that understands that and backs me properly here in the UK."

Future Prospects

Frank Warren, the head of Queensberry Promotions, expressed his confidence in Buatsi's potential. "Josh will be a natural candidate to take on the winner," Warren said, referring to the upcoming WBC world title fight between Anthony Yarde and David Benavidez on November 22 in Saudi Arabia.

A New Chapter in UK Boxing

Signing with Queensberry means Buatsi has now partnered with every major promotional company in the UK, having started his professional career with Matchroom. This strategic move positions Buatsi for a potential world title shot, leveraging the strong support and resources available through Queensberry Promotions.
