Kovalev vs Yarde NOT Taking Place in Russia?

why would kovalev not want it? kovalev fights everybody! plus its in his home country! makes no sense for kovalev to not want the fight. yarde's handlers not being confident in him beating kovalev makes more sense! I'm guessing Kovalev's side couldn't drum up the interest to pay the fighters what they were looking for and expected so they needed a way out to look for a bigger fight that will warrant the purses

I just want to see Kovalev on TV again asap. I imagine Yarde will have other opportunities in the U.K. kovalev still has options. he can fight beterbiev in russia that would be huge over there!

Oh absolutely. I don't think either side really wanted it and it wouldn't surprise me if they both pulled out and tried to blame it on the other sidewhy would kovalev not want it? kovalev fights everybody! plus its in his home country! makes no sense for kovalev to not want the fight. yarde's handlers not being confident in him beating kovalev makes more sense!

There is plenty of them for him to choose from. They act like he's a world star when in reality his record is basically 18 wins vs journeymen fighters.

They'll probably say Kovalev is ducking Yarde.

Yarde not fighting Kovalev? What a surprise.

Apparently Yarde and his people have feelers out, searching for a quality opponent. https://66.media.tumblr.com/10c4812bfda90c1e59baeb67bd314ebd/tumblr_mtlsbpTnXn1r3bojdo2_250.gif

Tbf we don't know that they have forfeited their mandatory status. It could be on Kovalev? Oh absolutely. I don't think either side really wanted it and it wouldn't surprise me if they both pulled out and tried to blame it on the other side

Tunde Ajayi somewhere right now... https://media.giphy.com/media/26FPImXfDlv4AFbBC/giphy.gif :lol1: No surprise, complete BLUFF/Pump Fake, it was never going to happen in Russia and NOBODY was ever going to pay Yarde $4.2 Million

No worries. I am sure they can find some Czechoslovakian window-fitter for Anthony Yarde to sodomize at short notice. Lions in the camp!
