Tony Bellew explains why Anthony Yarde shouldn't be written off against Artur Beterbiev
This will be Yarde’s second shot at a world title, having come close to stopping Sergey Kovalev in the eighth round of their fight in 2019, before the Russian rallied to win by knockout in the eleventh.
Beterbiev, however, is a different beast, having knocked out all 18 of the fighters he has taken on since turning professional.and he has seen vulnerabilities in Beterbiev that the Brit can exploit.told talkSPORT. “If this one goes the distance, I’ll walk down Lord Street without a stitch on, I’m telling you now it’s not going the distance.
“It’s a brilliant fight, Artur Beterbiev is vulnerable, so for people completely writing Anthony Yarde off, they haven’t got a clue.
“But, with Anthony Yarde, he can be quality at times, he has the edge with speed and he has better feet, but it’s just the pure destructiveness of Beterbiev. “Anyone saying that [Yarde] can see how it goes and ride out a storm is talking nonsense, you’ve got to take centre ring straight away and keep out a jab and match [Beterbiev].“He is not going to tire, he’s dangerous, you have to catch him and get his respect early, that’s the way to beat him. He’s a monster, there’s no two ways about it.”18+ New customers only. Opt in, bet up to £40 on selected events at odds of 2.00+, in 7 days. Get up to £40 in free bets on selected events.
