Comments Thread For: Anthony Yarde: Would I Fight Sergey Kovalev Now? Definitely!

[Mick Higgs]

I notice that Yarde doesn't call out the real/ligit European champion Dominic Boesel & just seems happy hiding behind his phoney WBO bauble.

Who did Yarde fight so far? If he wants Kovalev he has to earn it.

This man and the people around him are plainly and simply deluded. You won't find a better example out there of "what is the definition of deluded?" Yarde has never fought a big puncher, never fought outside of international club fighter/journeyman class. They have climbed the ranks by taking soft opponents and answering no questions to some very important questions. How can you take these people seriously when they have ducked fights at Domestic and European level, in order to carry on facing tomato cans?

Why is this guy getting so much hype? He's a totally unproven novice.

[ThunderFists]

[AdonisCreed]

Looking forward to this first step up but yeah it's been a bit boring watching him against mismatched opponents and then being ranked no.1 or no.2 in the WBO without ever fighting a competitive fight.

If he was ranked no.10 then I think it wouldn't be so annoying but yeah I'm hoping for some step ups this year but he's being managed well so far, the LHW division is no joke. Maybe they're waiting for the Kovalev if he still has the title in a year and is 37 but there are no easy world title fights at 175.
