PREDICTION: ARTUR BETERBIEV VS. ANTHONY YARDE

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday, January 28, live at Wembley Arena in London, England, and airing on BT Sport (UK) and ESPN (USA), unified Light-Heavyweight titlist Artur Beterbiev will battle hard-hitting contender Anthony Yarde.

Beterbiev, a heavy favorite, will travel abroad to take on Yarde, looking to extend his win streak and knock streak, having gone 18-0 with 18 KOs as a professional. In his last outing, Beterbiev mauled then-titlist Joe Smith, Jr. inside of two rounds back in June. He picked up his third belt in the division with the win.

Yarde, 23-2 in the paid ranks, is looking to capture world honors in his second attempt, having come up short against Sergey Kovalev back in August 2019. In his most recent fight, Yarde easily dispatched of Stefani Koykov in three frames.
