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.

Third-year guard Bronny James and rookie guard Cameron Carr have been assigned to G League Coachella Valley, the Lakers announced Thursday.

James, who is the third year of a four-year contract worth $7.9 million ($4.4 million guaranteed), played only 12 minutes this season across five games, scoring four points on two-of-three shooting while missing his only three-pointer.

Carr, who was the 24th overall draft pick this summer, has played only four minutes in three games, missing the only shot he took.

James has played in 74 games during his young career, including 42 last season when he averaged 2.9 points and 1.2 assists in 8.9 minutes.

The Lakers moved their G League affiliate to Coachella Valley, where they will open the season Friday at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert against Salt Lake City.
