Joshua Buatsi vs Marko Calic – Fight Analysis and Prediction

WBA light heavyweight champion Joshua Buatsi will put his title at stake when he faces the undefeated Croatian, Marko Calic in their upcoming headliner on October 4.

Since grabbing the title against Andrejs Pokumeiko in 2018, Buatsi knocked out six contenders to defend his belt. There is no denying that he is one of the most lethal punchers in the sport today. However, his upcoming rival is equally looming when it comes to his in-ring dominance.

Calic has been in an undefeated pro-run with 6 knockout victories in his 11 wins. Yet he hasn’t faced a boxer of Buatsi’s caliber before. The upcoming headliner will impose a lot of challenges before the Croatian. Apart from defending himself from Buatsi’s ferocity, he will also have to fire back with his own shots.

No matter who takes the win, fight fans can expect fireworks when the light heavyweights collide against each other. Here’s how the title fight can look like this weekend.

Joshua Buatsi vs Marko Calic can be full of madness!!
