    Yarde also wanted Buglioni so it's all swings and roundabouts isn't it?

    It's not "nonsense". Don't build Buatsi up to be the best in the division and not put him there with Burton, Johnson and Buglioni - especially when they're all signed to the same promoter with it now being ordered by the board as well.

    I agree, FW will have some big decisions to make.

    Johnson won't go back to British level now, Buatsi VS Yarde makes sense, I don't believe Yarde will have any of it though.

    So I can't wait to see the excuses from FW, Yarde, Team Yarde for not fighting Buatsi.

    They can hardly say "we are above domestic level", they haven't fought anybody at domestic level, European level or world level.

    The board have also ordered Dubois Vs Gorman, eliminator for British title and for the English Championship.

    Gorman wants the fight, Dubois wants the fight so let's see if FW will make it.

    2019 could be a make or break year for FW.

    Yarde's team say they wanted Buglioni, but how can anyone believe him with his proven track record of avoiding fights

    Hearn made Johnson vs Buglioni and also Buglioni vs Burton and is now going to make Burton vs Buatsi.

    Where has Yarde been in all this?

    Hearn said Warren offered 6 figures for Buglioni and he turned it down. From his own mouth on IFL.

    I'm not talking about Johnson vs Buglioni, the argument is who Buatsi has fought.

    Buglioni was stopped inside a round by Johnson, so why are Yarde, FW and Yarde fans (all 7 of them) so intent on fighting Buglioni? And why keep mentioning it?

    It didn't happen so move on, fight one of the others and fight one for the British title, prove you're the best in the UK.

    Yarde didn't want to fight Johnson, didn't want to fight Burton and don't want to fight Buatsi.



    So what does that tell you?

    The board actually requested Yarde vs Burton as the final eliminator to Buglioni and Yarde's team turned it down. A weird decision considering they were "calling out" Buglioni.

    I want to see Buatsi fight someone British level before taking on world level Callum Johnson. Hosea Burton is a very dangerous fight for him at this stage of his career so credit to him for taking it if it happens.

    Can you please explain why you think Johnson is World level?

    He's ranked in the top 10 of the world by general opinion, he put on a good show vs Beterbiev who is considered the #1 or #2 LHW and he destroyed Buglioni, a genuine British/European level fighter like nobody has ever done before.

    Not to mention his amateur accommodates, Commonwealth gold medallist etc...

    The topic is Johnson v Buasti - why keep bringing it back to Yarde?

    I’m interested in how you rank Johnson and Buatsi’s domestic rival. I don’t see why it needs avoiding?

    You think Johnson is Top ten in the world? Are you high or something.


    Buglioni is bang average British level. Yarde, Buasti and probably even Burton in a rematch would smoke him easy. Johnson lasted 3 rounds against Beterbiev - yes, he made it exciting, but he was well beaten.

    He would get smashed against any of the champions, so this is just nonsense. Get him in with Buasti next and stop this rubbish talk about world level.

    What would be a more difficult fight for Johnson? Yarde or Buatsi?

    They wanted Buglioni before the Johnson KO, when he was British Champ.

    I'm not denying he (Yarde) should prove he's the best by fighting the domestics, I'm saying that Buatsi - with all the Hearn/Sky hype - should be doing the same (as now ordered by the board).
