Promoter Eddie HearnMatchroom Boxing) highly rated the boxing of the unified light heavyweight champion of Canada, Russian Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) and, it seems, has no doubt that he will not leave chances for mandatory challenger Briton Anthony Yard (23-2, 22 KOs) at the weekend.
But at the same time, Hearn is once again overly emotional. Apparently, he forgot that his previous comment in the same style was severely criticized in the USA – the boss Matchroom Boxing even accused of racism, and he himself said that the situation would serve him as a good lesson.
“Watching a Beterbiev performance from the ringside is something special,”
He speaks Hearn. This dude is just a fucking animal. He’s just horrendous. That’s what this fight is going to be for Yard – terrible, monstrous. Because there is no other way against Beterbiev. When you step into the ring against this guy, you have to be prepared for the worst.”
