Light-Heavyweight Titles: Anthony Yarde will compete for the world championship on January 28 at the OVO Arena in Wembley against the formidable unified world champion Artur Beterbiev.
On Saturday night, Yarde defeated Stefani Koykov in the third round before declaring he would face Beterbiev in London for the WBC, WBO, and IBF light-heavyweight titles.
After stopping Joe Smith Jr. in the second round in June, Beterbiev added the WBO title to his collection, bringing his total number of victories—all by knockout—to 18.
Beterbiev, who lost to Oleksandr Usyk at the London 2012 Olympic Games, asserted, “I never back down from a challenge, and Anthony Yarde is a top contender who requested this fight.
“Since the Olympics, I haven’t fought in London, so I’m looking forward to it.
Yarde was referred to as “below” following my fight with Joe Smith Jr., but the adage “slow and steady wins the race” is true “is true, and I will win on January 28 in London.
Sergey Kovalev stopped Yarde in his only other world title bout of 2019, but the Hackney resident is determined to surprise Beterbiev.
Yarde declared, “January 28 will be my night.” “I’ve wanted to see my destiny unfold in my hometown since the beginning of my professional career, which began at Wembley.
I won’t make any bold predictions for this bout against Artur Beterbiev, a formidable unified champion, but I will say that I won’t leave anything to chance and that I perform best when fighting fire with fire.
