Fair play to him. If he goes over there - and I think he should. As a challenger sometimes you’ve got to travel to a champions back yard for a shot! I’m sure if Yarde’s team had put down the money it would be in the UK! Good luck to him.
Quite amazed if it actually happens, and in Russia too. Can we finally see what Yarde is actually made of, such a gigantic step up in opposition and power.
Hearn: Wilder v Fury will never happen. Hearn: Yarde will never fight Kovalev. What a true plonker Hearn is. Yarde has agreed terms. If the fight falls through now it’s not Yarde’s fault. Warren and Yarde two absolute Gs.
Smart move cos Kovalev not the same fighter he was 2/3 yrs ago and not a big hitter. Yarde will win this and then the super hype will start and he will be touted as the best pound 4 pound fighter this world has ever seen etc etc.... Then someone like Buatsi KOs him and dream over or something along those lines. At least it gives Warren another legitimate headliner which is what it’s all about.
Mate, that’s what you want to happen after making such a song and dance about there being no way the fight happens. Look it’s not signed yet as far as I can see, but everything seems on, so why not just be fair to them at this point and say all the best?
If he goes over there and fights Kovalev and even gets ironed out in first round then massive respect to him, he has huge nads.
