Done Deal! Anthony Yarde vs Sergey Kovalev In Russia!! Dare To Be Great?

[NahMean]

Or is this a silly move?.. Big step up and very risky and balsy to take it in Russia!.. but this should be a good scrap nonetheless.

It's good that he's willing to step up and test himself. But Russia?? Why don't they fight in the US where Kovalev is based and living? Is Yarde seen as such a threat that he needs all the help he can get?

Anyway, i'm looking forward to it. Is Yarde for real? Or is Kovalev still too much for him? We find out soon enough.

fish eyes is terrified some random street sweeper will KO yarde for pennies, hence why he wouldnt even allow him to fight hosea burton or frank buglioni
this is a clear cash out of yarde.

There is nothing special about yarde. I expect to see Kovalev beat that british hypjob without any problems.

I hope we get some good odds here cuz imma go large on Kovalev.

Yarde the wannanbe Roy jones and pascal. Weak

I'm glad Yarde's team came to their senses. A side calls the shots. Kovalev deserves the opportunity to defend his title in his home country.

this seems like a cash-out... Warren turned down a title shot just before xmas, saying it was not good money...

Big props to Yarde, Another awesome LHW fight to look forward to

Only way Kov loses this is if the fight is fixed.

Yarde's been developed poorly but still it's an ok fight for Kov at the later part of his career. I'll watch it.

Cool, excited to see it. Guess Yarde got a bigger piece of the pie by agreeing to goto Russia. Fair enough. Plus, Kovalev looked very bad last time he fought there (Chilemba?) and said nerves got to him.
