Queensberry rolls into Manchester’s Co-op Live with a ten-round light heavyweight fight that actually means something. Joshua Buatsi needs to reset after the Callum Smith loss. Zach Parker’s been stacking wins and size suits him at 175. I’ve been around enough British cards to know this one’s the kind that flips a year for a contender.
Buatsi is the betting favorite for a reason. Cleaner mechanics, better feet. Parker’s got pop and timing, plus the chip you only get when folks count you out. Styles make fights, and these two won’t hide.

Insider view
Been in these UK back halls for years. This is classic crossroads energy. Buatsi’s A-game is neat and mean when he lets the hands go in threes. Parker’s counters arrive quick and he believes in his power at 175. If Buatsi controls range and tempo, he banks rounds. If he lets it drift, Parker can flip it with one clean shot. No fairy tales here, just who executes when it gets uncomfortable.
