Frank Warren: Yarde Showed He Truly Belongs at Top Echelon at 175
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT at Wembley Anthony Yarde showed that he belongs, truly belongs in the top echelon of the world light heavyweight division.

LAST SATURDAY NIGHT at Wembley Anthony Yarde showed that he belongs, truly belongs in the top echelon of the world light heavyweight division.

Promoter Frank Warren believes Anthony Yarde would have been crowned a world champion if his opponent last Saturday night in London went by the name of, say, Joe Smith Jr.

Frank Warren is certain Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde won’t go 12 rounds Saturday night in London. Yarde’s promoter is less convinced that most oddsmakers got it right when they established Beterbiev as a 9-1 favorite to beat his contender in their fight for Beterbiev’s IBF, WBC and WBO light heavyweight titles. Warren naturally considers Yarde a live underdog against the Russian knockout artist.

Frank Warren is always going to back his man, but he says that one of the reasons he was able to gain home advantage for Anthony Yarde against Artur Beterbiev this weekend was that the champion’s promoters, Top Rank, believe the fight is straightforward for their man.

ANTHONY YARDE HAS used the word himself in recent weeks and I do suspect there is a sense of destiny about his moment of truth at Wembley on Saturday night.

Frank Warren, co-promoter for WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, says an announcement for the showdown with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk is 'imminent'.

WE WERE VERY proud last week to officially announce a significant addition to the Queensberry heavyweight ranks with the signing of the exceptionally talented Moses Itauma.

IF WE ALL stick to the recipe the sport of boxing can cook up a storm across 2023 and, here at Queensberry, we are readying our ingredients for a five-star fighting feast.

Anthony Joshua apparently won’t factor into Tyson Fury’s plans for 2023. But the latter’s promoter would be more than happy to match the former heavyweight champion with two of Britain’s top contenders.

Promoter Frank Warren will be looking to keep heavyweight Daniel Dubois very busy in 2023 - and he hopes to position him for a major fight. In 2022, Dubois traveled to Florida to capture the WBA's "regular" heavyweight title with a knockout of Trevor Bryan. Last month, he followed up that win with a come-from-behind stoppage of Kevin Lerena.
