That said, Yarde (19-1) will look forward to registering another KO under his name. Dec Spelman will also want to revive himself from two back-to-back losses. Thus, the light heavyweight thriller will be filled with intense fireworks throughout.

Anthony Yarde and Dec Spelman will hunt for an impressive win

Considering their recent run, Yarde will have an upper hand in the odds, while Spelman will be the underdog. However, boxing is a lethal sport where calculations don’t work necessarily. Hence, Spelman can give a hard time to ‘The Beast from the East’ inside the ring.

Yet he will also have to deal with Yarde’s insane power that has knocked out some of the best light heavyweights. In his 19 wins, Yarde has notched 18 of them via knockouts. It is no surprise that if he connects, he can put any man to sleep.

He will just have to let his hands flow to advance his record. Meanwhile, Spelman is a technical boxer who can outstrike his opponents throughout the contest. If he can avoid Yarde’s fists, Spelman can turn the tables in his favor.

This safe approach might not be beneficial since Spelman should also look for a KO. It is safe to state that the ‘nail-biting’ contest will have a lot in store if it goes the distance.

Yarde will enter as the favorite. And Spelman will have every opportunity to shock the world by putting up an impressive performance.

Prediction: Anthony Yarde defeats Dec Spelman via knockout (Round 6)
