To be fair you posted this up far too early. “Deep negotiations” shouldn’t last 2 months! That being said I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t happen now.
It takes time to get contracts signed and venues finalized and all that sort of stuff, the fight is on if you can't wait a month or two for an official announcement you should just take a 4 pack of Stella and get back in the cupboard !
6 pack or whats the point Regardless it would be nice if they kept us in the loop Tunde was all over the net a few weeks ago
Sure Frank said at weekend it’ll be announced tomorrow. Still waiting. He said same about Fury Wilder, that happened.
Pretty sure it will happen . And Fwank and Yarde deserve lots of credit if it does. Not Tunde though - he's a complete idiot.
There's still doubt if the fights happening? I was skeptical before but BT sport and Frank have already put out videos and interviews about it, pretty sure it's going to be official soon. Whether someone gets "injured" before the fight is still a possibility however.
It's a 4 million dollar purse, I doubt Yarde would pull out even if he does get injured. He would be the third highest paid British boxer behind AJ and Fury
I agree, but there’s no way he’s getting $4m- that’s obviously BS. More likely that money’s being split between both fighters. Rough guess would be Kovalev 2.5m and Yarde 1.5 as Frank was apparently offering good money for a PPV fight on July 13th, plus Yarde is travelling so they had to pay up big time.
I've seen the Irish MTK bum society of Conlan, Frampton and Barnes on Twitter taking a lot of digs at Tunde, mocking him etc. Why can't they just let the fight play out? I understand they are mocking Tunde but why not get behind Yarde a British fighter? Was good to see Tom Little on IFL praise Yarde and speak very highly of him. In any event Barnes should keep his mouth shut. He simply has no room to talk. A complete failure of a professional boxer with massive delusions of grandeur.
