The Scottish boxer will take on Buatsi for the interim WBO light-heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on September 21.
Willy Hutchinson and Joshua Buatsi had to be separated during a pre-fight face off that saw the Scottish boxing star grabbed by the throat.
Hutchinson and Buatsi managed to keep a lid on their emotions at Wednesday's launch press conference, but let them boil over in a tussle that saw security and the respective teams of the two fighters desperately try to pull them away. In a clip shared on TNT Sports' X account, Hutchinson can be seen pushing his face into his English opponent before British champion Buatsi retaliates by going for the 25-year-old's throat.
