Now, it’s time to test their skills against each other as Top Rank has finally brought them under terms. Following the tussles of date and venue, the light heavyweight matchup has been in the air for a long time. Now, it is finally happening.
Frank Warren has recently confirmed the news, sending fight fans into a frenzy. Apart from that, Top Rank has also lined up several other events. However, the light heavyweight showdown seems to grab all the attention right now.
Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur matchup has a new date and venue
During his recent interaction with Seconds Out, Frank Warren talked about several things going around in the boxing universe. One of them being the much-anticipated fight between Yarde and Arthur. Warren said, “Yeah, Royal Albert Hall, it’s going to be. Hopefully, a good night there for all of us.”
Warren claimed it to be a special week for him. He added, “That week is my 40 anniversary. The first show I did with the Boxing Board of Control license. And that was on the first of December in 1980, so we got the 28 of November, the big heavyweight fight which is a cracking fight”.
‘King’ Arthur (17-0) is one of the hot prospects in the light-heavyweight division. However, Yarde can bring a lot of complexities in his plans.
After facing a mere setback in his career against Sergey Kovalev in 2019, Yarde is back in the win column with two consecutive victories against Diego Jair Ramirez and Dec Spelman. Thus, he has all the chances of defeating Lyndon Arthur in November.
That said, it is an important fight for the division. Even if the fight goes the distance, it is expected to be a thriller, and fight fans are excited about it.
