Former world champion Kostya Tszyu appreciated the winning performance Artur Beterbiev in a fight with Britain’s Anthony Yard.
On Saturday in London, Beterbiev defeated Britain’s Anthony Yarde by eighth-round technical knockout and defended his WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight titles.
– The performance was very difficult, but good. Congratulations on Beterbiev’s win! A fight of this caliber (world champion against challenger, mandatory defense) has a certain value. Arthur lost a few laps. Of course, this is the opinion of the judges. One of the turns was equal and it was possible to give cards to both. But it’s not for me to judge.
Fight with Bivol? Arthur will make the decision. I wouldn’t want to see this fight. Yes, the whole world is waiting for this meeting, but it doesn’t matter what they want. We must win titles with other boxers! In Russia they don’t want to see a fight or their own fight,” Sport24 quoted Tszyu as saying.
