Buatsi, Parker Make Weight For Light Heavyweight Clash In Manchester
MANCHESTER, England – Joshua Buatsi and Zach Parker both successfully made the 175-pound limit ahead of their light heavyweight fight Saturday night.

Buatsi weighed 174 pounds and 10 ounces. Parker tipped the scales at 174 pounds and 9 ounces.



Woodville’s Parker (26-1, 18 KOs) – who is ranked No. 3 by the WBO – also last saw action in February. He outpointed tough late substitute, Mickael Diallo, over 10 rounds.

At Thursday’s press conference, promoter Frank Warren assured the winner that he will get a major fight early in 2026.

In the evening’s chief support bout, Brad Rea (21-1, 10 KOs) will defend his European light heavyweight title against his Manchester rival, Lyndon Arthur (24-3, 16 KOs). Rea weighed in at 173 pounds and 13 ounces. Arthur was 174 pounds and 13 ounces.
