Joshua Buatsi downplays Eddie Hearn feud despite criticism from ex-promoter

Joshua Buatsi has insisted he left Eddie Hearn on "good terms" to sign for new promoter BOXXER.

British light-heavyweight Buatsi had guided into the upper echelons of the world rankings by promoter Hearn. It was expected that the Briton would next receive a shot at the world title against stablemate Dmitry Bivol, who recently defeated Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez to defend his crown.

However Buatsi rejected the offer, and after a year out of action, has since announced that he will be making the switch to BOXXER and Sky Sports. When discussing his move back to his original broadcaster, Buatsi criticised streaming service DAZN suggesting he wants to return to a mainstream audience with the move.
