The unified light heavyweight champion playing for Canada, Russian Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) is impressed with the form of British challenger Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs), with whom he will have to fight tonight – they will fight on Wembley Arena in London (England).
“He’s so pumped up, he looks like a bodybuilder,” Beterbiev noted. I don’t have those kind of muscles. I don’t look like a bodybuilder. I don’t mean it’s bad or anything like that. I’m talking about how he looks stronger.”
To which Yard replied: “Well, yes, I feel well carved. I have abs because I train hard. But I think he’s in great shape too. I’ll give him his due.”
Yard and his team are respectful of the champion, which was not observed in the previous title attempt. Why is that? About this and not only in the presentation of the battle Beterbiev – Yard: Reveal your secret light.
