Buatsi Richards Undercard
The Sole undercard fight announced for the Buatsi Richards card four weeks away is Unified WBC/IBF Super Lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron’s (15-0) voluntary defence of her titles against Argentina’s two-weight world champion Victoria Bustsos (23-6).
Eddie Hearn Via IFL TV last week, revealed that London’s Ellie Scotney (4-0) would feature on that card against former IBF Bantamweight champion Mariá Cecilia Román who lost her title to Ebanie Bridges in March. This is another strong step-up for Scotney after a closely contested victory over Jorgelina Guanini in February who went onto win a shut-out against Stevi Levy in April.
Also on this card, Unbeaten Heavyweight Croatia’s Alen Babic (10-0, 10 KO’s) will move down to Bridgerweight to challenge Poland’s Adam Balski (16-1) for the WBC Silver Bridgerweight Title. Balski’s sole defeat comes to top 10 cruiserweights Mateusz Masternak and this marks a notable step-up in competition for the exciting Babic.
