He's a good, confident fighter with power in both hands. Struggled when he won the CW title but his opponent was decent if not great. He hasn't boxed anyone else of note but he should give Yarde a test. He's a tough lad from Manchester and was on the fringes of team GB as an amateur, but probably could have done with a few british level fights before this one. Still, its a good contest and a strong addition to the card.
Solid fight for the card and huge chance for Arthur to get his name out there and up the rankings. I feel it will be a good fight because Arthur will be aggressive.
Will be about the 2nd time in Yarde's career where someone isn't just coming to make up the numbers Arther will be coming to win this.. Will give his career and profile a massive boost if he can. The type of fight Yarde has needed for an age
Seems like the bum carousel is back on He FINALLY stepped up against Kovalev and lost every round ( apart from one) and was knocked out by a jab. Since then he's fought someone with a record of 4-48-3. And is now fighting Spelman who lost every round and took a bad beating to Arthur a few weeks ago. Spelman is basically an area level fighter.
They took that Kovolev fight too early like most modern fighters Debut 330 pm at York hall 4 rounds doors just open 5 people in ! Forth fight World title selling out the O2 !
There’s people who will try and justify this fight and claim Spelman is robust/durable. He will be brutally knocked out within 5/6.
