Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde preview
Russian Beterbiev, who resides in Canada, makes his first-ever trip to the UK to give Londoner Yarde a chance to compete against him and benefit from a home-field advantage. The audience should expect fireworks as one fighter has a 100% knockout ratio, and the other has eliminated all but one of his opponents.
Despite only participating in 12 amateur fights, 11 of which he won by knockout, Yarde entered the professional ranks at age 18, when his ambition of joining QPR was derailed by an injury and destroyed all but one of his first ten opponents in rounds one or two.
For Beterbiev, it was the exact reverse; he began boxing at a young age and had a remarkable record of 295-10, winning two European championships and a World Championship, and defeating Michael Hunter, Oleksandr Usyk, and Sergey Kovalev.
Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde prediction
Beterbiev defeated Joe Smith Jr. in his most recent contest through a second-round TKO. That evening, Beterbiev defeated Smith Jr. for the WBO light heavyweight championship, moving the 31-year-old closer to unifying the weight class.
Before 2019, Yarde exuded an image of invincibility, but after his first defeat to Sergey Kovalev, a Russian boxer, he rebuilt himself. Since that time, Yarde has lost to Lyndon Arthur by split decision after winning five fights by the finish.
Overall, it’s a thrilling fight between two destructive strong hitters in the light heavyweight division. On January 28, world-class Beterbiev will display his talent, setting up an exciting matchup with Dmitry Bivol for the world championship. If you like to wager on rounds, Beterbiev will win this fight via KO sometime between rounds 4 and 8.

Beterbiev is favored by most sports betting services, with an expected win probability of 92.5% for defeating Yarde.
