Promoter Frank Warren has shared the current state of negotiations for the fight between Anthony Yarde and Joshua Buatsi. Both parties previously stated that there would be no issues; however, contracts remain unsigned.
"Our stance is straightforward – we have an active contract. We always, always stand by our contractual positions.
I hope that relations are not severed, but certain things have happened. I won't delve into details, but it's very, very disappointing.
We've been negotiating with Joshua Buatsi, we agreed on a 50/50 split with Sky, TNT, BOXXER, and Queensberry, but we can't reach an agreement with Anthony's side.
I hope it doesn't come to a lawsuit, that we can sort everything out and the fight will go ahead," said Warren.
Yarde previously announced that he is now a free agent and has no contractual obligations to Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.
