Anthony Yarde grins “I’m the A side vs Kovalev”

you're the A-side of fighting bums

Anything to get out of the fight without looking like thats what they're doing. Yardes team is the most cringy thing since Ricky Gervais in the office, but thankfully we've got Buatsi to make up for the national embarrassment.

I don’t know where he’s the “A-side” because it’s not in the uk. He’s Anthony “no Yarde, not Joshua”, unless he’s got confused and thinks he’s the other guy :p

No problem with this he’s not ready for Kovalev this is as good a way as any to just not take it. Yarde looks good but has had under 30 fights amatuer and pro he’s just not ready for Kovalev and needs to be fighting at European level

Another B level Brits!

It was actually his manager that said it Not even his manager. His trainer. And Frank Warren later refuted it.

Lol what? Well I guess that creates the escape route for the Yarde camp. Hard to convince people they really believe in that though lol

If I was Kovalev I’d do it in the UK for a substantial purse increase.Any fighter in the UK can usually draw a huge crowd as UK fans are passionate about there fighters.Kovalev will knock his ass out wherever they fight.

It was actually his manager that said it ❌🇺🇸 Anthony Yarde's trainer/manager Tunde Ajayi says they'll welcome the WBO-ordered fight against Sergey Kovalev, but not if it takes place in America. He believes they're the 'A-side' and wants the bout at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium due to judging concerns in the US. — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) March 20, 2019 Thx. That guy. :lol1: He's worried about a Russian fighter getting favoritism from US judges, so we wants it to be more fair by having a UK fighter with UK judges. Lol.

I have no idea how Yarde or his team can be deluded enough to even mention that He should be the A side to Kovalev , Furthest thing from a fan but Kov is basically a HOf , Been among the top at 175 for the last 7ish years been on PPVs , Headlines on HBO now Espn , while Yarde isn’t known and hasn’t beaten anyone of substance But yeah the Unknown Mando deserves to be the A side ?

Even his own promoter (Frank Warren) was about to laugh when those comments were put to him. The fight would probably happen in the UK but Kovalev is the A-side! The list of people he has fought alone makes him the A-side, he is the champ as well.

Yeah I saw that interview, lol it’s the most funniest thing I have. Ever heard recently. How Tunde could stand there and say it with a straight face is baffling to me, but to be honest Team Yarde is our own Team Wilder. Fought nothing but bums, demand to be the A-side, “Adidas global ambassador” lol, Lions in the camp. Everything about this idiot is cringeworthy.

almost everything that trainer says is horse*****, keep that assclown away from a microphone. Hes just hurting Yarde.

Before we all pile on, can you hit us up with a source? I've a hard time believing he's stupid enough to say that.

Sure fire way to make it seem like you want the fight but have no intention to actually make it.

yarde smiles...i mean grins I felt like smile was too strong of a word

What do you all think about this Brit demanding the fight take place in his backyard when he hasn’t fought anyone? Wherever the money is should be the answer

yarde smiles...i mean grins
