Joshua Buatsi vs Callum Smith prediction

This contest boils down to how much Callum Smith has left in the tank.

"Mundo" was stopped decisively by the vicious hands of Artur Beterbiev last January, but he is once again rebuilding at the age of 34 to have another stab at the gold in the light-heavyweight division. We're still waiting on that break-out performance from Joshua Buatsi, but Saturday night could be his time.

He has added the retired, unbeaten American Andre Ward to his team and the knowledge that the 40-year-old will be able to impart on Buatsi at this stage in his career is priceless.

He is a smart operator who has slowly made his way though the domestic scene and a wide points victory against a tired Smith is the pick.

Winner: Joshua Buatsi
