    The point is that Frank Warren and Tunde have repeatedly ruled out boxing the likes of Burton and Johnson because Yarde is “above British level” and because he has a high world ranking. So if he’s going to duck world champions, fight Johnson *****.

    At least they don't lie about the reason. I respect that.

    Hubris always comes back to bite you.
    I feel bad for Beterbiev however, he's legit
    getting frozen out of the conversation.

    Nothing

    Yarde is a idiot if he moves onto World Level when he's not actually tested against the best in Britain.

    I think Yarde can beat Buglioni right now. If I was managing him I'd go this route to see exactly where' he's at

    Vs Frank Buglioni
    Vs European Journeyman
    Vs Hosea Burton
    Vs Callum Johnson

    Winner of Johnson should start making that climb to World Level. I favour Johnson right now but if Yarde beats Burton & Buglioni I think he makes a case for winning vs Johnson especially if he looks good, enough to make it 50/50 on paper for sure.

    Now Frank warren is managing him so it won't play out like that, expect Yarde to fight Buglioni and 4-5 European Journeymen whilst they wait for a belt to become vacant or a weak Champion to appear.

    To be fair, that is a hell of a step up for Yarde. He's probably at least three fights away from that type of fight still. You can't go from fighting bums and domestic level guys to top tier like that with no step ups in between. Yarde may drown, we don't know if he can swim yet.

    Its no problem if you are not ready

    But Yarde team is saying hes a lion, will fight anyone, ranked #2 in world....

    Can't have it both ways

    Be humble and keep quiet as you move up...

    Pretty ironic that @CutThroatFade likes this comment.

    Obviously appreciates the similarities with his boy Wilder.

    Does nobody else interpret the comment like so?

    "He was offered the Beterbiev fight, but declined as he wasn't ready due to only having 12 fights".


    So he was offered it 8 months ago right?

    Pretty sure he is saying he's ready now.......

    (He still gets KO'd easily tho).
