#yarde vs beterbiev

[10point-must]

Great fight and solid looks from Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde this past weekend in London. Beterbiev had a black set with white trim - featuring Rival gloves and trunks and Adidas shoes. Anthony Yarde had a white, black and gold set by Adidas. An odd flash of florescent green on his shoes is a complaint, but a minor one (and frankly not noticeable during the fight).

Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde - 1/28/2023

It is unfortunate that Artur Beterbiev (19-0, 19 KOs) has not fought in a year. One of the scariest fighters in boxing started 2023 off with a FOTY contender against a surprisingly game Anthony Yarde before having his summer fight derailed because of an infection to his jawbone. He's set to return this Saturday (Jan. 13) to defend his 3 light heavyweight titles against Callum Smith (29-1), with a win potentially setting a unification bout against Dmitry Bivol.

Beterbiev vs. Yarde goes down SATURDAY (3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT) at OVO Arena Wembley LIVE & EXCLUSIVELY on ESPN+

LONDON (Jan. 26, 2023) — WBC/WBO/IBF unified light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) talks with his fists more than his mouth. Boxing's only world champion with a 100 percent knockout rate is on enemy turf as he prepares to defend his collection of belts against British puncher Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs) on Saturday at OVO Arena Wembley in London. Yarde is the far more loquacious of the fighters, but there was a shared respect between the two combatants at Thursday's press conference. Beterbiev and Yarde did have an intense staredown, but it was all business two days before fight night. Beterbiev-Yarde and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT. This is what Beterbiev, Yarde and Top Rank chairman Bob Arum had to say. Artur Beterbiev "In our camp, we always try to be ready for different scenarios. If it's a tough fight, we're going to be ready." "I feel good. I hope on January 28 I will change a little bit (to turn into a monster). I said he looks like a bodybuilder because of his muscles. I don't have this muscle and I didn't say it to mean anything bad. I said it because he looks strong!" Anthony Yarde "Everyone knows the type of character I am. I'm very calm. I jump at opportunities, and again, you go thorough certain things in your journey to strengthen you. You go through certain things in your journey to prepare you as well. So, that's why I keep saying I'm so excited." "I'm happy to be alive, happy to be at this stage of my life as well. Being an underdog, over-dog middle dog... it don't matter to me. I'm a dog! When I get in the ring and I start throwing my hands about, everyone knows what I can do. If you want to say it does anything to me, it gives me that little push, that little urge. But, again, it's expected. I don't lie or bullsh*t anybody. He's got 18 fights, 18 wins, {100 percent} knockout ratio, Olympian. He's done a lot in the sport, and that's why he should be respected. I've respected him this far. As I said before, when we get in the ring, surely he will be saying the same thing. There's no respect in the ring when you try and take the respect away from your opponent."   "Three belts, legacy and history. I'm happy it's Beterbiev. This scary person. I'm happy that it's three belts. It just makes it all that much better. It's gonna feel like it's earned. It's not no easy way out. There's a lot of fighters that get a mandatory world title, or they get someone that they're meant to beat, they're the a-side, etc. I like this route. This route gives me the goosebumps, the good feeling. It's the journey. The journey is what makes me happy." Bob Arum "I think, pound for pound, the biggest puncher in boxing today is the guy on my right who has knocked out every opponent that has been put in front of him, not because he isn't a very good boxer — because he is a very good boxer — but he also has that magic that you can't really train a fighter for. It's instinctive, the ability to punch and knock out an opponent. So, I'm very happy to be here. I know Anthony Yarde, I've followed him. He's a terrific fighter, also with a big punch. He's a very, very exciting type of fighter." Marc Ramsay (Beterbiev's Trainer) "We've known {about} Anthony Yarde for a long time. I look at all the light heavyweights from their beginning until they reach the level of my fighter. I know he's a good fighter, a complete fighter. He's fast, he's powerful, he can box, he can counterpunch. But we get ready for all of those elements in the training camp. We have a very productive training camp. We reached every single objective that we faced before the training camp. No excuse, no injury, no nothing. We're just ready to perform and give the fans what they want to see." "I know everyone wants to talk about {Beterbiev's perfect KO rate} and has questions about this, but this is really not the focus we have as a team. We work with Artur to get ready to fight the best way we can. Power is power. Power is there, but that is not the main objective for us. We don't put the focus on that."

Meanwhile, boxing in 2023 has already given given us Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara, Luis Nery vs Azat Hovhannisyan, Amanda Serrano vs Erika Cruz, Alycia Baumgardner vs Elhem Mekhaled, O'Shaquie Foster vs Ray Vargas, Tank vs Hector Garcia, Emmanuel Navarrete vs Liam Wilson, Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde, Chris Eubank vs Liam Smith, Kim Clavel vs Jessica Nery Plata, and a couple more I can’t even remember off the top of my head.

The schedule is picking up after 285 by a lot. A ton of great fights on the horizon. But people pretending these Sean Strickland headlined cards laden with the Contender Series’ leftovers are really the best combat sports have to offer atm is wild. And we’re only getting more of those in the future.

Being a fan of both MMA and Boxing is funny because you see MMA fans make fun of quality of boxing matchmaking but meanwhile the next UFC Fight Night card is being headlined by Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann. Like Subriel Matias-Jeremias Ponce for the IBF Super Lightweight title - which is happening the same night - is a SIGNIFICANTLY better fight.

Beterbiev vs. Yarde goes down SATURDAY (3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT) at OVO Arena Wembley LIVE & EXCLUSIVELY on ESPN+

LONDON— King Artur is ready to light up London.

WBC/IBF/WBO light heavyweight world champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs), boxing's only world champion with a 100 percent knockout rate, will battle England's big-punching Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs) on Saturday evening at OVO Arena Wembley. Beterbiev-Yarde and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT.

Beterbiev returns to London for the first time since he represented Russia at the 2012 Olympics. He lost a close decision to Oleksandr Usyk in the quarterfinals of the heavyweight bracket, which concluded his amateur career. Beterbiev has resided in Montreal for more than a decade and fought his first eight pro bouts in Canada. He captured the IBF title in 2017, claimed the WBC crown in 2019 with a thrilling knockout over Oleksandr Gvozdyk, and added the WBO strap last June with a second-round bludgeoning of Joe Smith Jr.

Yarde does not have Beterbiev's amateur pedigree, but he holds a claim as one of boxing's pound-for-pound fiercest punchers. He has won his last three bouts, including a 2021 fourth-round knockout over Lyndon Arthur, who toppled Yarde by split decision in 2020. Yarde fought for a world title once before, succumbing via an 11th-round knockout to Sergey Kovalev after nearly stopping Kovalev in the eighth round. This is what the main event combatants had to say following Wednesday's media workout. Artur Beterbiev "I had a good camp. I had good sparring. I will try to do my best." "My team and I always try to be ready for anything, any strategy." "I can't compare {Yarde} to Joe Smith. It's a different fight. Joe Smith had a belt at that time. It's not comparable." On a potential Dmitry Bivol fight "Right now, it's Saturday night. I only think about Saturday night." Anthony Yarde "If you look at what he's accomplished so far, it's amazing, and that's what amps me up. So, again, I beat him, I deserve some respect." "I don't look at what any other fighter has done {to him}. I don't look at what he's done to other fighters. Realistically, all you look at is style, but even that, you can't take too much from. You only know once you step in there with a person, and you both shape up and you both start trading leather." "He's never been in a situation where he's lost. But for me, it's all about me. That's the way I am. That's the way I operate. It's about me and my legacy. He's just the person with the belts." On the home crowd advantage "I just feel like this one feels right. This one feels better. {The Sergey Kovalev fight} didn't. All that matters is when we get in that ring. Everything that's said before is all he said, she said possibilities and things like that. When we get in the ring, that's when we'll see." Subscribe to Top Rank’s YouTube Channel for fight week highlights and exclusive interviews.

What's Next For Dmitry Bivol?

Published: November 11, 2022

"When going into the ring, I have always had it in my mind that I would be the conqueror. That has always been my disposition."  -- John L. Sullivan

Dmitry Bivol always seeks the most challenging fights, then has a knack for remaining coolly confident throughout the build-up, performing as required on the night to get the victory, with the unique ability to simultaneously exude humility. He believes in his ability and game plan. The talking will be done in the ring. Talking away from the ring when opponents try to convince themselves, and opponents can give the public their chances.

After the WBA light heavyweight champion’s excellent display against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in his tenth title defense, Bivol stated: “The lion is not the biggest animal in the jungle, but he’s King. Yeah Zurdo is bigger than me, it doesn’t matter.”

Bivol has the mentality of a champion, with unshakable confidence due to his control, discipline, and ability to use an opponent’s aggression against him.

Bivol’s unanimous decision win in Abu Dhabi was his first outing since his career-defining win against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez back in May 2022. This has been a break-out year for the Kyrgyzstan-born technician, as he has gone from the purist’s favorite to somewhat of a mainstream attraction.

A legit test, a perceived genuine threat, was made to look easy. Naturally, attention has now shifted to Bivol’s next move. Usually, these “What’s next?” pieces have many options to choose from for fighters, with numerous contenders and pretenders to the throne. In Bivol’s case, there are only really two genuinely viable options. These are the rematch against Canelo, with the weight class for the fight, whether at 168 lbs or 175, to be determined, or a light heavyweight undisputed showdown against WBC, IBF, and WBO champion, Artur Beterbiev.

Speaking to ID Boxing prior to the fight, Bivol said: “I want to be undisputed champion in light heavyweight. This is my goal. I want to have more belts. I want to move forward. Doesn’t matter who’s my opponent, I just want to fight for the belts.”

Bivol reinforced his wishes after the Ramirez fight. He has a true champion’s mindset, prioritizing legacy over money.

If boxing were straightforward, Bivol vs. Beterbiev would be next. Bivol wants Beterbiev; the pair hold all the belts, Bivol has just disposed of his mandatory challenger, and the winner will create history. However, more often than not, boxing doesn’t work how we would like it to. If it did, we would be looking ahead to Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua and Errol Spence Jr vs. Terence Crawford in the coming months, not Tyson Fury vs. Dereck Chisora and Terence Crawford vs. David Avanesyan. The fights that usually make the most sense are not the fights we usually get.

Beterbiev is the most dangerous puncher in the light heavyweight division and one of the most brutal punchers in the sport. Boxing’s only active champion with a 100% knockout rate, with 18 knockouts in 18 fights. That is the man Bivol wants in the ring.

Beterbiev is set to face WBO mandatory challenger Anthony Yarde in early 2023. Assuming Beterbiev prevails, which he is massively favored to do so, there would be a stylistically colossal showdown on our hands. The master boxer against the wrecking ball. A wrecking ball with underrated boxing ability which hits extremely hard to the head and body. Beterbiev, although having compiled an impressive resume in his 18 professional fights with wins against the likes of Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Marcus Browne, and Joe Smith Jr, has never faced a fighter as skilled as Bivol. This is a fight we should all get behind and clamor for vehemently.

Bivol is aware that there might be obstacles, and the Canelo rematch is a fight that team Canelo and Eddie Hearn seem to be really pushing for. There would undoubtedly be big financial rewards for Bivol in a Canelo rematch, but the public’s desire for this rematch is a lot less than before their first encounter in May. Bivol is not as keen on that fight as the first time, and the general public feels the manner in which Bivol outclassed Canelo the first time was conclusive enough, with no rematch required.

Boxing seems to have developed a bad habit of delaying big fights. “Marination” is nothing new in boxing. Giving a potential mega-fight some time to get bigger and truly whet the public’s appetite has always existed in boxing. However, it never used to take this long. The big fights take so long to transpire, that the boxing community starts to lose interest.

Beterbiev vs. Bivol is the fight to make right now. If not the absolute next fight, then as close to next as possible. Bivol is 31 and in his prime. Beterbiev is 37, turning 38 in January. Although Beterbiev is coming off a very impressive two-round destruction of Smith Jr, time is not on his side. The time for this showdown is ripe. Any further delays are just a waste of time.
