    Another tough world title fight for Yarde. Hope he wins but as per the other 2 title shots, I fear his level of opposition prior doesn't give him the best preparation.

    I give Yarde a 10% chance of winning. I would have much preferred he fought Callum Smith.

    Very hard fight. Yarde will get stopped late.

    Has there ever been a boxer with a more bizzare CV.

    Basically absolute Elite, Lyndon Arthur or Binmen.

    That's the entire lot

    Good fight this one, and yes Yarde is the underdog, but he has stepped up before and maybe that experience will hold him in good stead this time?

    Certainly I would rather this than him face someone like Bumatsi, who was brutally exposed by Callum Smith last time out.

    Yarde will get beat. He is simply not good enough. Was hoping to see Smith fight Benavidez. That would have been a cracker.

    Anthony Yarde career highlights: Beat British Level Lyndon Arthur after losing to him, knocked out by ancient Kovalev, battered by Beterbiev who Callium Johnson put down but he couldn't put a dent in, another knock out loss to Benavidez.

    At least he's made loads of money for having beat nobody. Laughable record.

    Smith isn't very good either. His best win is Buatsi.

    Bin it off.

    I did last month after it went up from £9-99 to £14-99 on the sly.

    Charged me £20 to cancel, too. Not a chance I ever go back to DeadZone.

    Why would you want to see him fight that useless twat?

    It's very weird especially for a Frank w fighter, he's an expert at moving fighters along, this is a far more Matchroom way of trying to get a title and it's very unlikely this will work.. There's loads of domestic and European fighters he could have been improving on, that said I don't think he'd ever beat Benividez

    Will this be in England? Doubt it but I'd definitely watch.

    Yarde will get a beating though. He's far too inactive and just not at this level

    I'm not too sure about that. Frank has a long history of managing some of his fighters careers via a path of least resistance to an inevitably undeserved WBO title shot. He was doing it years before Hearn ever came along.

    Admittedly, Yarde is following an extreme version of this carrer path. He really does have one of the maddest resumes I've ever seen.
