Joshua Buatsi returns to the ring on Saturday night in Manchester when he takes on unbeaten challenger Daniel Dos Santos.

It will be Buatsi’s first bout under esteemed trainer Virgil Hunter, who has worked with the likes of Andre Ward and Amir Khan in the past, and the 2016 Olympic bronze medallist is raring to show his improvements.

“I’ve got an unbeaten opponent, that makes him ambitious,” Buatsi said. “He’s going to want to hold onto his undefeated record, as I am. When that’s at stake you really dig deep. Obviously the first fight under Virgil, so it’s should be interesting. I’m looking forward to showing what I’ve been working on with Virgil. It’s mainly [Hunter’s] style that I like. Each of his fighters translate it differently. The public haven’t seen how good I can be, or I will be.”
