The mega card with Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, September 21st 2024 in the main event for Matchroom Boxing is looking strong on paper, with the highly anticipated Buatsi vs Hutchinson bout set to take place on the undercard.

The contest will be taking place over 12 rounds in the Light Heavyweight division, and the oddsmakers appear to have already decided on a firm favourite ahead of the contest in London, England this weekend.

Buatsi’s form and latest fights

Buatsi comes into this fight with an unblemished 18-0-0 record in his professional career, with his last three wins coming via unanimous decision. You have to go back to 2021 for the last time that Buatsi was able to secure a win via TKO/KO, so there is a chance that he may be looking to take this to the distance again on Saturday night.

Buatsi’s Stats

Age: 31
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 175 lbs (Light Heavyweight)
Record: 18-0 (13 KOs)

Hutchinson’s form and latest fights

The ‘Hutch-Train’ Hutchinson comes into the contest with a pretty similar record to Buatsi, however he does have one loss to his record, which came against Lennox Clarke back in 2021.

Since then however Hutchinson has managed to secure three finishes out of his last five bouts, with the other win coming via unanimous decision. Hutchinson has knockout power, so he isn’t a complete outsider here.

Record: 18-1 (13 KOs)

Buatsi vs Hutchinson betting tips

Buatsi has been more active recently than Hutchinson, and has proven that he can go the distance in his last three contests. In my opinion, you should be looking to wager on a unanimous or split decision victory for the British boxer, and there are a couple of odds available at the best boxing bookies in the UK that I’ve found.

Buatsi to win via Unanimous Decision at 11/4 (bet365)

It’s been some time since Buatsi was able to get the finish in a fight, and whilst Hutchinson will be eager to get at the English fighter and cause the upset, I can see Buatsi controlling proceedings and taking it to the end of 12 rounds once again. bet365 are offering the chance to bet on Buatsi to win via unanimous decision at 11/4.

Bet Boost – Buatsi to win and over 10.5 Rounds 11/8 (bet365)

bet365 are also offering a bet boost of 11/8 (previously 5/4) on Buatsi to win the fight and for the contest to go over 10.5 rounds. As I mentioned I believe that this is going to go the distance, so this offer makes great sense to me and you get the extra bonus of the bet boost to make it that little bit more enticing.
