Yarde will call himself the A side, despite only having faced bouncers and delivery drivers from South America and Eastern Europe outside the worlds top 50. He will say he deserves more and turn it down- claiming a moral victory. Everyone here saw this one coming from a mile off.
Surely it’s 80/20 in favour of the challenger and not the champion right? Like when cleverly fought jack I’m just teasing
So that seems like a confirmation what most here already suspected. If Kovalev's team wins the pursebid, Yarde will pull out.
They might go this route in an attempt to save face (it won’t work with me) if the Kovalev fight doesn’t get sorted.
I said a few months ago that they would go for fornling, he’s a soft touch in a deep top 30 light heavyweight division that holds a version of a world title (ibo) They really are running out of options now it’s beyond embarrassing
If they can actually pay the man enough to step into the ring with him. If Fornling is at least somewhat smart, he sells his 5th rate LHW strap for quite a bit, now every other belt is in the hands of murders row.
