Quotes
Frank Warren: “Lyndon and Anthony are both world class, explosive light heavyweights and putting them together again makes for a huge domestic occasion. The stakes are very high. The winner will sit in the No.1 spot with the WBO and be firmly in place for a world title shot in 2022.”
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “I personally thought Yarde was doing just enough with his higher aggression to win the rounds in the first fight, but got it completely wrong. That said, it was a very close contest still. In the last roud Yarde unloaded, but it was too late by then. I anticipate it being a close fight yet again, but Yarde should be the more likely of the two to make the neccessary amendments to win this time. Yarde can be a slow starte, but he will need to be explosive from the first bell in the rematch. Arthur is tough so I find itd difficult to see him getting stopped. If Yarde unloads and gasses out like he did in the Kovalev fight then I can see Arthur scoring a stoppage. I find it very hard to call but my head says Yarde on points.”
