Anthony yarde was offered kovalev fight but promoter frank warren. Had denied it https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ex...ergey-Kovalev-fight-Frank-Warren-promoter/amp.
Would you put your 15 fight novice who has barely any amateur fights in with the krusher this early? That would be a stupid move, its not even like kovalev is a big draw and a money fight. Putting him in to take a beating from krusher is going to do nothing but stunt his growth and ruin his confidence. Yarde does need to be stepped up from these bums tho.
It would be the Silakh fight all over again. I'm no fan of Yarde....he has a tiny head, but his team did the correct thing here.
