ANTHONY YARDE is back in action this weekend as he returns to the boxing ring for the first time since February.
The 33-year-old light-heavyweight star is looking to challenge for world titles again but needs to build some much-needed momentum.
Anthony Yarde was beaten by Artur Beterbiev in his last big fight[/caption]Yarde’s last big fight was in January 2023, when he was stopped by now undisputed 175lbs champion Artur Beterbiev in a pulsating and competitive fight.
And he also came up shot against Sergey Kovalev in 2019, losing by 11th-round KO.
But now he’ll be looking to get back into the world title picture, with a potential rematch against Beterbiev likely to be on his mind.
