Yarde Vs Arthur
Anthony Yarde faces Lyndon Arthur at the Royal Albert Hall tonight as he continues on his comeback trail.
Lyndon Arthur retained his Commonwealth Light Heavyweight title, and claimed the vacant WBO Intercontinental belt, with a dour split decision win against Anthony Yarde.
Yarde vs Arthur was initially made to be co-main event to the Dubois Joyce Pay-Per-View and then the Tyson Fury-Agit Kabayel fight on the same date it will now get the opportunity to headline its own event. Lyndon Arthur (17-0, 12KO) vs Anthony Yarde (20-1, 19KO) Lyndon Arthur is a decent prospect, and will remain one after Saturday night, regardless of the result. A heavy underdog, Arthur has the potential to spring a few surprises in the early rounds as Yarde attempts to gauge the range. Absolutely horrible boxing and footwork by Yarde. Followed Arthur around the ring for 12 rounds, didn't even try to cut the ring off and wondered why he lost as he didn't fight the way he should have till like 12th. He needs to leave this Tunde guy, dude is the biggest yes. Yarde took place Saturday, December 5, 2020 with 5 fights at Church House in Westminster, London, UK.

Yarde suffered a damaging loss to Sergey Kovalev in August 2019, but has claimed victory in back-to-back fights this year to rebuild his confidence and move towards another light-heavyweight world title shot.
Now he’ll be back in the ring for the third time in 2020 to take on Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion Arthur.
Yarde will be eager to show he is back to his best and then look forward to a successful 2021 but that won’t be easy against the unbeaten Arthur.
