Fight Preview
Artur Beterbiev, the reigning light-heavyweight champion, is best known for one thing: his ridiculous, cartoonishly powerful punches. Of course, he’s not the only heavy hitter in the sport, but the 38-year-old Russian likely lands each punch with more force than anyone else, even at heavyweight.
The light heavyweight title bout between him and Dmitry Bivol is the one that fans would most like to see. Without it, however, he is perfectly content to try to wreck his way through whoever comes his way, which is why he is venturing all the way to London to face the flawed but dangerous Anthony Yarde in this matchup.
Beterbiev achieved a great deal of success in his amateur career. He was successful enough to bring home a world title and multiple European medals. His professional career got off to a slow start for someone turning pro at 28, but ever since he won his first world title (the IBF in 2017), he’s been must-see TV. Since then, he’s added two more championships to his collection.
Let’s check the latest picks, Boxing news, stats and Boxing expert picks for Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde. We’ve plenty of Boxing predictions for you to consider.
Beterbiev has the rare ability to fool his opponents into thinking he’s not aiming for what he really wants, and then slam them with the full force of his attack. His opponents find themselves trying to block an overhand that turns at the last second and slips under their elbow to their chest, or a hook to the body that becomes an uppercut. By alternating his throws in one direction and the other, he can get the defense off-balance.
In this venture, Yarde will be joining him (23-2, 22 KOs). Don’t be fooled by the album’s length. He lacks his opponent’s extensive experience. Beterbiev was able to quickly rise through the professional ranks thanks to his impressive performance as an amateur. But Yarde didn’t see it that way. Consequently, a sizable portion of those figures are training for battle. This does not change the fact that his career path has been peculiar.
This has been his second jump up to world level against a hard-hitting Russian, having lost to Sergey Kovalev in 2019. Aside from that, though, almost all of his opponents were vastly superior to him. He has split his two matches against Lyndon Arthur, a British opponent of average quality.
