Eddie Hearn has admitted that Joshua Buatsi could fight Dmitry Bivol next if Canelo Alvarez doesn't rematch the Russian.
Buatsi was taken the distance for the first time in four years on Saturday night as he outpointed Craig Richards to maintain his unbeaten record. The 29-year-old is now one step closer to a light heavyweight world title shot with his win.
Alvarez moved up to light heavyweight for the first time in three years last month, but came up short against Bivol. Hearn, who promotes Buatsi and Alvarez, said that if the Mexican faces Gennady Golovkin for a third time next, Buatsi could fight Bivol.
