Russian WBC, IBF, WBO light heavyweight champion Arthur Beterbiev outperforms Britain’s Anthony Yard in every way, the trainer of another Russian boxer, who holds the WBA light heavyweight belt, says in a chat with Dmitry Bivol Gennady Mash’yanov.
Beterbiev will defend his belts against mandatory challenger WBO Yard on Jan. 28 in London. The Russian has 18 first wins in 18 fights in the professional ring. Yard has 23 wins and two losses. Yard is familiar to the Russian viewer from the 2019 fight in Chelyabinsk with Russia’s Sergey Kovalev, in that fight Yard lost earlier than expected.
Everyone has a chance in boxing. There are a lot of unforeseen situations that can happen in the ring. Also, the Yard is not at all as simple as some people think. Experts are well aware that Yard is a good boxer, well prepared physically, can cause trouble for any opponent. At the same time, Arthur is definitely the favorite. Arthur as a boxer is much better educated and technically much better equipped. Additionally, Arthur is wiser, smarter, and more experienced. Everything is on his side. In general, talking about the chances in percentage, I give 90 against 10 in favor of Arthur, Mashyanov told .
