Live boxing on TV tonight: Start times and TV channels including Joshua Buatsi vs Craig Richards

Joshua Buatsi will take on Craig Richards in an all-London affair at the 02 Arena this Sunday which will headline Eddie Hearn's DAZN card. Just last year, Richards went 12 rounds for the world title against the man who recently defeated Canelo Alavrez in Dmitry Bivol. But he comes in to the fight on Saturday as the heavy underdog against undefeated Buatsi.

Croydon’s Buatsi (15-0, 13 KOs) scored his tenth knockout in a row when he stopped Latvia’s Ricards Bolotniks in the eleventh round of their WBA Light-Heavyweight World Title Eliminator on the third and final week of Matchroom Fight Camp in August. The 29-year-old was set to face Russia’s former World Title challenger Maxim Vlasov on the undercard of Joseph Parker’s rematch with Derek Chisora at the AO Arena in Manchester in December before suffering a hand injury.

On that card, exciting heavyweight and close friend of Dillian Whyte, Alen Babic will hope to remain undefeated as he fights on DAZN's undercard.
