Has recently undertaken an interview with Sky Sports and has retweeted the link on Twitter. A sign that he is potentially moving to Matchroom? I personally hope not, think he is a big fish (potentially, based on talent) in a small pond when it comes to FW pool of fighters, could easily be cast to the side if he signs with Matchroom. Will no doubt get added exposure through the BT Sports deal so hope he isn't too hasty.
If your a good prospect with world title ambitions then you'd be crazy not to sign for matchroom over Frank Warren. Matchroom fighters get way more exposure with Sky and not to mention bigger pay cheques. Eddie has a reasonable size stable but no where near too big that great pospects like Yarde would be overlooked, I think it would be a smart move if he joined Eddie.
Plus Eddie has proved he's more than capable of building up big money domestic fights. IF Yarde has ambition to get to the top he's probably better off with out box nation despite the recent tannouncementnt
True but it all depends on circumstance. Being with FW makes it easy to get a WBO belt seemingly and their rankings are usually pretty pish. Could Eddie have landed a Canelo fight for Liam Smith?
I Reckon Fr4nk w0uld 0f done a better job than eddie in getting swifty a title. But in general i hear what ur saying
Yarde is looks like a very very good prospect to me, I think going with hearn is a great move not only for Yarde but also for hearn. Time will tell how this new BT deal work out for frank but at this point i would not step near frank unless i was desperate.
Is Yarde a legit 6ft? He looks too stocky to be 6ft @ 175? The guy is freakishly big @175 if he's 6ft. I was thinking 5ft9 max
Seb Eubank????? Decent amateur but can't imagine him striking fear into Yarde definitely not a stand out
just under 6ft. Was billed as 5'11 in a boxnation fight i saw if I recall. Carries a lot of muscle but doesn't seem to be hampering his agility and movement. More of an Usyk than a Joshua in terms of his balancing his size and fluidity.
He's very athletic and mobile for such a heavily muscled dude. No way 6 ft. More like 5ft9 Like a mini Tyson
your putting 2+2 together and making 5 mate - Yearde is going nowhere. FW & Anthonys trainer are old school pals plus Frank is on the way back up. in general, Warrren has changed his business strategy recently in regards to his stable. He is signing up and backing young, streetwise kids with stories to tell who can tap into the insta/twitter/snap chat type hype. I.e. Yearde, Nathaniel Wilson, Harley Benn, Boy Jones etc.
I know a lot of prospects fight a few lbs above the limit until titles are on the line but Yarde sometimes doesn't come close to making 175 and he looks freaking huge for a 175lber, how is he going to go when he has to make 175? Maybe he should just fight at 200lbs, he looks like he'd be perfect at 185-190lbs, I'm thinking when he fights a tough puncher at 175 he will get exposed for draining too much like Bellew. Bellew actually had some good moments against Stevenson and would have had a better shot at winning if he wasn't drained. It might be nothing and I might be wrong because I haven't seen enough of Yarde, but he looks a different weight division to the likes of Ward and even Kovalev tbf I actually would like Yarde to do well tbh
