Yarde vs Kovalev is deep in negotiations

Which fight will happen earlier, Brook vs Khan or Kovalev vs Yarde?

place your bets!

 

Half a Yarde just bores me now.......fighters should just fight and if Kov is stalling then bin him and get a UK fight on with the Burtons of this world. HE has a lot of haters to shut up so best way of doing that is keep active and keep winning.

 

This thread started in March! It's nearly july...

 

No Yarde cannot pull out, if Kovalev does then AY will be fighting for the vacant belt. No reason to forfeit that

 

175 is SHAKING right now.

My man Yarde can't get a fight

 

4 months of deep negotiations. Hate to see them when they’re shallow.

 

Kovalev doesn't want to share a ring with the Lion, the Lion with a great resume and a career defining win over Tony Averlant ! Lol

 

They are currently in the Mariana Trench ... proper deep in negotiations

“Be patient lads, the fight is definitely on” haha

 

I do find it hard to think this is Yarde end

 

I see Spencer Fearon was saying he was with Anthony and Tunde at the weekend and said the fight will be announced soon. Allegedly Kovalev was waiting on Canelo and a big offer from DAZN but now that isn't happening the Yarde fight will be announced soon to take place in Russia.

I think if Kovalev is keen on the Canelo fight then he'll need to accept that he still needs to fight Yarde first. I can't see Canelo moving up to light heavyweight without there being a world title at stake.

I don't want to see Yarde fight for a vacant title. Especially for the WBO with some of the dumplings they put in their rankings. I want to find out if Yarde is a real lion. I thought this was finally it. The real acid test, but is it slipping away? Canelo vs Kovalev instead would be a fine consolation I suppose, very interesting fight. Going off topic now, but who'd be the bookies' favourite in that one? It'd be quite close I'd imagine. My money would be on Canelo anyway.
