Arthur vs Yarde 2 - LIVE!
Two British light-heavyweight rivals clash in the ring again tonight in an eagerly-awaited rematch at London’s Copper Box Arena.
Lyndon Arthur and Anthony Yarde renew hostilities almost a year to the day since their controversial first bout in December 2020.
Arthur went into that contest as a huge underdog, but ended up retaining his Commonwealth belt in an upset after edging a split-decision at Westminster’s Church House thanks to his excellent jab.
Former WBO world title challenger Yarde described that result as a “robbery” and will be out for revenge this evening, having stopped Alex Theran inside one round back in August.
The undefeated Arthur, meanwhile, successfully defended his WBO Inter-Continental title against Davide Faraci on his last outing.
The chief support act tonight sees Hamzah Sheeraz defend his WBO European super-welterweight strap against Bradley Skeete.
