Yarde accepts to fight Kovalev in Russia in June or July. Official announcement soon.

Hopefully.

You think Yarde’s juicing?

Just extremely muscular. And Brit.

I suspect a bit because of how he looks. But he might be a genetic freak.

big risk by yarde, good luck to him!

I’ll believe this when the first bell rings. Yarde quite possibly is all wrong for kovalev entirely but we don’t know for certain due to his refusal to fight anyone with a pulse

[pillowfists98]

This will be non competitive. Yarde only has a punchers chance.

This is one of the biggest jumps in class i can remember for a young Brit hopeful. He has literally fought nobody of any quality whatsoever. His best win Averlant was demolished in a round by Buatsi.

Either they know something about Kov we don't or it's a pure money grab before they drop back to journeyman level.

Maybe Yarde is actually stepping up to try his shot at a title.

He's mandatory. He has to take it or lose that ranking.Let's see how he gets on.

Already taking credit away from Kovalev? He too green doe.

[denium]

Yarde hasn't shown me anything to indicate that he could beat Kovalev, but maybe he thinks he's catching the Russian at the right time.

Personally I think he gets dominated, and probably stopped.
