    Fight the winner at 175, this would be Yarde's easiest path to name recognition in the UK.
    Big domestic fight too.

    Strange post mate - dont think that’s a feasible/realistic fight.

    Like Frank would allow him to do such a reckless thing when he can fight Polands 3rd best light heavyweight.

    He's quite a heavy light-heavy so I doubt he'd make it at super middle.

    Big domestic fight is it? In whose eyes his manager/trainer Tundey and Yarde possibly ?

    do you really think Groves would be interested in such a fight ??

    I think a good fight for Yarde now is Burton, Burton is a decent domestic fighter and would answer a few questions.

    I don't really no what Yards and his team are doing I just watched a video from seconds out and it didn't really answer what there plans are?

    Tunde started the video with they went out to look at Kovalev and Bivol as possible opponents but then started going on about how Badou Jack , Stevenson and Alverez have been pros since 2009 and look at how long it took them to get to world level, yard e has only been a pro three years???

    so what the hell is he on about ?? There out in the states scouting possible opponents that Yarde will be ready for in five years time?

    I don't really no to much about this guy Tunde but the more I watch of him the more He comes across as a bit of a joke !! Seems Yarde is lapping it up all the bull **** that comes out of his mouth!!

    ***** cat in the house!!! Meeowwww!

    And any Tundy criticisers can just take a walk and just watch on YouTube how he makes pads move so quick they look like they aren’t moving at all. Fantastic tactics for a real fight.

    Yarde find a live opponent soon cos if not the hype will just vanish and you’ll only have the Guiness Book Of Records fastest pad hitting record to fall back on.

    Such a fight would only make sense for Groves if he was shot and looking to cash out. Assuming we are talking about this at LHW.

    You would not make such a move though against a green and unknown quantity like Yarde, who is still building. It would have to be against a household name who would do big numbers.

    Yarde needs to fight a decent domestic level LHW, so we can see where he is. If the chin and stamina issues are true then he falls at this hurdle.

    Every fight can be realistic if both sides are interested.
    But Yarde needs to raise his profile badly and to call out established names in the UK is a good idea.
    Kind of like Wilder mentioning Hearn and AJ at every opportunity.

    Why in the world would Groves or Smith want to move up in weight to fight a prospect, when the fight wouldn’t pay much yet and for no title?
    It’s not realistic mate.
