Scotland's Willy Hutchinson is set to realise a childhood dream when he fights Joshua Buatsi for the vacant WBC light-heavyweight title at Manchester's AO Arena. The rematch comes over two years after Buatsi won their first encounter by split decision. At the final news conference, Hutchinson revealed he wrote his boxing goals in a book at age 13, with becoming WBC champion at the top.
The 'Hutch-Train' became the first Scottish boxer to win gold at an amateur World Championships nearly a decade ago. Buatsi, who won Olympic bronze in 2016, admitted he never dreamed of becoming a boxing star as a child. With a record of 20 wins and one defeat, this may be his only chance at a world title.
