Joshua Buatsi has Artur Beterbiev's collection of world titles in his sights next – provided he first gets past Poland's undefeated Pawel Stepien tomorrow night atop the BOXXER card airing live on Sky Sports Showcase and Sky Sports Action from 7pm.
"[A win] gives me a shot at three belts. If it's offered to me, I'm not going to turn it down," Buatsi said today.
"You can never override Beterbiev. That's a long reigning champion for a reason. Not by chance, not by anything.
"I think there's things he does well as a champion but I also bet on myself and say there's things that I do well as a fighter. But let me get in the ring [tomorrow night] and show something."
Buatsi weighed in today in Birmingham along with the rest of the fighters taking part in tomorrow night's event, including history-making Lauren Price MBE and her opponent Kirstie Bavington, who will compete for the inaugural women's British Championship, the first such championship sanctioned in Britain in the nation's 114-year history of professional boxing championship titles.
Also on the card, rising star Ben 'The Surgeon' Whittaker – a 2020 Olympic silver medalist – hit the scales to make the light-heavyweight limit for what will be his third professional bout tomorrow night.
