Former light heavyweight contender for the WBC, IBF and WBO belts Anthony Yarde (23-3, 22 KOs) wants to rematch for his January early defeat in the fight against champion Artur Beterbiev, but at the same time he is not against other top fights, including a meeting with compatriot prospect Joshua Buatsi (16-0, 13 KOs) or even world boxing star Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs).
“I’m happy with the result, to be honest. I get a lot of good reviews, but I myself think: “Damn, I could beat him.” That’s all I have on my mind. But other than that, I’m fine,” the Briton assured
talkBOXING.
The 31-year-old fighter says he would like a rematch: “As for future fights, take me back to Beterbiev. I want a rematch, I really want it, I’m striving for it.”
Beterbiev, Bivol, Canelo, Buatsi and Smith. Who? When? With whom? Hearn has the answers.
At the same time, Anthony claims, a little inconsistently with himself, that “I don’t care who I fight with.”
“Fight with Buatsi? I like it,” Yard said. Whoever has all the belts, these options are also to my liking. Bivol? I want to try with him before he retires. Canelo… Those are all the names I want to fight. Because I feel that in my day, if I choose the right tactics and everything goes my way, I have the opportunity to defeat all these guys.
At the end of January, Canelo started training after surgery on his hand.
