Former undisputed light heavyweight world champion and ex-champion in four weight categories Roy Jones Jr. told that the Russian Artur Beterbiev you have to hold several rounds in a fight with the British Anthony Yard and then defeat your opponent.
WBC, WBO, IBF light heavyweight champion Beterbiev will defend his belts against mandatory challenger WBO Yard on January 28 in London.
Arthur has a very good chance of winning. The only thing is to look at Anthony Yarde’s form, because he also has a great shot, like Beterbiev. But we saw what Sergey Kovalev did with the Yard. Maybe he will learn from this fight and get better. At the same time, Artur is much stronger than Kovalev as a puncher, and if he doesn’t take serious damage in the first 2-3 rounds, then he will defeat Yarda, Roy Jones told .
The 38-year-old Russian has 18 first wins in 18 fights in the professional ring. The 31-year-old Yard has 23 wins and two losses. Yard is familiar to the Russian viewer from the fight with Russian Sergey Kovalev, which took place in August 2019 in Chelyabinsk. In this fight, the British boxer lost earlier than expected.
