Russian Arthur Beterbiev fulfilled his mission in the duel with Anthony Yarde for the title of world champion in the light heavyweight division WBC, IBF and WBO, says the Olympic champion Alexander Povetkin MMA.Metaratings.ru.
Beterbiev defeated Yard by knockout on January 28 in London and defended three league titles. In the previous fight on June 18, 2022 at New York’s Madison Square Garden arena, Beterbiev defeated American Joe Smith Jr. in the main event. In total, at the professional level, the Russian has 19 victories in 19 fights (all by knockout).
– Beterbiev – well done! Can I say more? Yes, something went wrong for him, because Yard is also a good boxer. But I believe that Beterbiev has fulfilled his mission. Came and knocked, which was necessary. Stopping the fight was not surprising. If the latter had not intervened, Arthur would have finished off the adversary. It’s hard to compare Yarde to his fight against Sergey Kovalev. Then Kovalev was in top form so it’s not for me to judge the Briton’s progress, Povetkin said.
