    Would much rather see Callum Johnson smash Yarde to bits and then retire.

    In the 90s, the joke was that it stood for Warren Boxing Organisation.

    Yarde and Butsai aren't ready for Beterbiev and Bivol. Crazy idea, but fighting each other might get them closer to the experience they need

    It's still Euro/Brit level

    They need to fight foreign fighters, ex champions rather than be on this domestic round-about.

    They are both top 10 at this point in a shallow pool. Given how spicy it would be and the pressure on, there is probably not many better on the job options in the division. Especially who would take the fight

    Yarde turning down £1 mil for the Butsai fight is crazy.

    Why should the three-belt unified champion have to afford a fighter who hasn't beaten anyone above domestic level the golden opportunity of winning all three of their belts off them in one fell swoop in their backyard?

    Yarde's best win is Lyndon Arthur who he is 1-1 against in his last three fights.

    What are his second and third best wins? Dec Spelman? Tony Averlant?

    Since losing to Kovalev he's fought

    Diego Jair Ramirez 4-49-3
    Dec Spelman 16-4
    Lyndon Arthur 17-0
    Alex Theran 23-5
    Lyndon Arthur 19-0

    E-Hearn offered him £1 mill to fight Buatsi but with the exception of Arthur they've been avoiding match ups against his domestic rivals who actually pose a threat in order to feast on zero threat featherfisted Euro circuit taxi drivers and journeymen scrubs from South America

    “You could’ve fought Buatsi in April or May for a million pounds, but you’re waiting for the winner of a fight that hasn’t been scheduled yet”

    --E-Hearn
