Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson renew their rivalry for the vacant WBC world light-heavyweight title in Manchester on Saturday.

The British rivals first met in a highly entertaining, hard-fought contest on the undercard of Daniel Dubois’ win over Anthony Joshua in September 2024.

Londoner Buatsi, 33, twice knocked down Hutchinson before going on to win by split decision.

Scotland’s Hutchinson, 28, suffered the second defeat of his professional career that night but two wins since have put him in a position to fight for a first world title.

Can Buatsi repeat his victory? Or will Hutchinson gain revenge in Manchester?

BBC Sport spoke to figures from across the boxing world to get their predictions.
