    On Sky Sports , Buatsi is calling out Yarde .
    Who you got in this if , and its a big if ... Buatsi actually steps up ?

    Myself I have to pick Yarde after his recent performances . Plenty of heart and Buatsi hasnt really shown anything yet or been tested . We know he has skills , but can he take a punch from a big hitter.

    Probably Yarde but it won't happen due to the promoters. More likely to see Buatsi against Azeez next which Buatsi will win more comfortably than people think.

    I wouldve said Buatsi before the Beterbiev-Yarde fight. Now I'd probably pick Yarde.

    Think most will lean towards yarde due recent form and recent opposition. Buatsi seems be type fighter needs be 100 percent full camp and in a match up he is big favourite to win. Heard all storied how good he is in sparring and talent. He needs show it and against someone decent.

    Yarde is out there smith is out there thats only domestic win any them beterbiev bivol all there but don't see him facing any tbh

    Yarde. Buatsi is seriously deluded. Another young know it all trying to make big moves but not actually succeeding. I don't rate Yarde that highly either, but he beats Buatsi.

    Buatsi for me for the following reasons -

    1. He has solid fundamentals and Olympic level amateur pedigree, stylistic kryptonite to Yarde who has no plan B when he can't blow his opponent away.

    2. The AB fight is likely to have taken something out of Yarde.

    3. Buatsi has quicker hands and feet.

    Always thought it would be a fairly easy buatsi win but probably lean towards yarde after the last year or 2

    lets bo honest fellas is either bloke up to the challenge of winning the big titles i dont think so but that doesnt mean its not entertaining i would enjoy seeing it and i think the bloke buatsi should win because yarde was knocked out by a jab and he has beat nobody and is 32 year old he is famous only for losses hes not any good is he

    Yeah I agree with this. Buatsi is a bit weird, he had the option to sign with Matchroom for Bivol or Queensbury for Yarde, instead he signed with Boxxer for nobody!

    I've chosen Buatsi in the hope he steps up. And it quietens Tunde for 5 mins

    Both have ridden the bum carrousel for long periods. But while Buatsi is still on it Yarde has actually stepped up and done fairly well at world level.

    No way would Buatsi fight Yarde anyway.

    Lions in the camp !

    Difficulty to predict because we haven't seen Buatsi in a proper fight. He's wasted his career so far.

    He absolutely needs a statement fight asap. He needs to push on and test himself.Even if he was to lose, depending on how the fight goes his popularity/respect could improve just like Yardes did after Beterbiev & Kovalev. Yarde stepped up and although fell short showed he had a real heart and more skill than he was given credit for previously. I think this would be a great match up, let's hope it gets made
