    Anthony Yarde declined an IBF title shot against Beterbiev

    Doesn't feel he's ready yet.

    If they're turning down the Hosea Burton's of this world then this should come as no surprise.

        Nobody wants Beterbiev...only one willing would probably be Bivol or Kovalev at some point

          Not a bad move, us blood hungry fans want to see fighters in at the deep end, including me, but there's no rush for him, still has to develop and improve. If only Wilder would admit the same thing about Joshua most of us would move on LOL.

              He's definitely not ready. That said, Beterbiev can't seem to find a lot of guys who are.

              Personally I think Beterbiev might be the best LHW out there right now. He's 33 already though, so maybe we'll never know what he might have been. Very frustrating for me as a fan, must be maddening for Beterbiev.

                No had nothing to do with that.

                Team Yarde wanted to go straight into a fight with Buglioni but Bug didn't want to know as he knew he'd get steamrolled.

                  Nobody wants Beterbeiv. Hope this dude doesn't get old before cats will fight him.

                    How is this even a story?

                    Why the F U C K would Yarde fight Artur Beterbiev after only 15 Pro fights and 12 Amateur Fights?

                    Give him another 18 months and he'll be ready for any Light Heavyweight in the world but right now, he still needs another 5 fights to get some more experience.
