The pair have been on a collision course for months as the fight was originally scheduled to take place in October.

But an injury to Beterbiev delayed the fight until the end of January.

Yarde has already been in contention for a world title, losing by knockout to Sergey Kovalev in 2019.

But he had some BIG chances to knock out his Russian opponent but seemed to lack the experience to capitalize on the opportunity.

The Londoner then fought Lyndon Arthur twice, losing the first on points before winning the second by KO.

Beterbiev is 18-0 as a pro and has won every one of his fights by KO.

It’s no surprise that he’s shunned by most, so Yarde already deserves some credit for taking on the beast

what was said

“I haven’t had more than a week off from the gym since I started boxing,” Yarde said.

“Beterbiev has had 200+ amateur fights and 18 pro fights but I will be sharp and focused.

“At light heavyweight he was nothing but a wrecking ball who has KOed every opponent to date.

“He’s very strong but I feel faster and I’m fresher with age but I’m behind him in experience.”

SunSport Prediction

What we do know is that this is a real fight of the bangers.

There’s no doubt Yarde could hurt Beterbiev – but the Russian-born, Canadian-based beast just seems like a different breed.

He likes to fight fire with fire – and his will burn a little harder at night.

we go for Beterbiev from mid to late standstill.
