Anthony Yarde: record, next fight and profile →
Callum Johnson says that he hopes to leapfrog domestic rivals Lyndon Arthur and Anthony Yarde in the queue to get a shot at WBO light-heavyweight champion Joe Smith Jr before them.
Anthony Yarde says he has learnt to accept his defeat to Lyndon Arthur last December, but that does not mean he still agrees with it. The light heavyweight rivals were scheduled to co-headline a show at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night - but on Tuesday, Yarde's fight was removed from the card when his opponent withdrew with injury.
I DON’T WANT to tempt fate or put the mockers on it, but I think all England fans are allowing ourselves to dream a little at the moment, aren’t we? There is – until events finally unfold for real on Wednesday night – a strong chance that we will be looking forward to a Euro2020 (/21) Championship final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening.
The ring return of Anthony Yarde (20-2, 19 KOs) has once again been pushed back. Promoter Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions announced that Yarde's opponent, Emin Atra, withdrew with an injury.
Lyndon Arthur says he would rather move towards a world title fight rather than have his rematch with Anthony Yarde later this year. Arthur beat Yarde for the Commonwealth light-heavyweight titles last December in what many viewed as an upset. Arthur, from Manchester, largely outboxed Yarde, who failed to land many punches until he caught Arthur in the final round.
THE NEW ADDITION to Ilford's own pride of Lions insists that Anthony Yarde has more than got what it takes to become a light heavyweight world champion.
Frank Warren wants his show at the Royal Albert Hall on July 10 to be made a coronavirus test event in order to ensure a full house for the night at the prestigious venue.
ANTHONY YARDE is delighted that arch rival Lyndon Arthur is number one in the WBO light heavyweight ratings, but will still demand their rematch takes place after their respective fights next month.
CALLUM JOHNSON says it’s “a gutter” not to be boxing alongside Light-Heavyweight rivals Lyndon Arthur and Anthony Yarde next month. WBO number one contender Arthur and Yarde return to the ring at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saturday July 10, live on BT Sport.
