Yarde was stopped by Sergey Kovalev at the Traktor Ice Arena in Chelyabinsk, Russia, when he challenged for the WBO world light-heavyweight title and hadn't boxed since.

Perfect type of opponent to go back to title contention.

Commissions and matchmaking like this is what gets people killed in the ring.

WBO rules say you’re unable to challenge coming off a loss - his team are hoping he’ll get an eliminator for the vacant title. They will get it watch..

Did they intentionally not tell anyone this was happening and put it in Spain to avoid criticism?

It would have been better if he fought an MMA fighter or a YouTuber.

Zurdo is such a hypejob, if he withdraws from this to face anyone but a champ he deserves to be ridiculed the rest of his career as the lifelong cherrypicking clown he has become. And Yarde should be ashamed of himself for such a pathetic move. The WBO are some complete clowns for allowing their rules to be gamed like this.
