Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez will go head to head in London this weekend, putting their friendship aside in an all-British main event. Each man will enter London’s O2 Arena with an unbeaten record to his name, with both boxers looking to move closer to a world-title shot at light-heavyweight. Last time out, 30-year-old Buatsi (17-0, 13 knockouts) outpointed Pawel Stepien in May to remain undefeated.

Now, the friends will come face to face in the ring as they headline in a highly-anticipated bout. “What’s at stake allows me to put [our friendship] aside,” Buatsi said in August. Azeez added: “I’m at war with a friend who’s in front of my dreams and aspirations. “I see an entertaining, brutal fight, ultimately with my hand being raised.” Here’s all you need to know.
