Being higher than Anthony Yarde, the boxer Artur Beterbiev does not take too much time to win. He took the initiative in most of the competition, thereby defeating the opponent with a straight punch in the 8th half. Yarde tried to stand up to play, but he did not stand for a long time and was tried to lose.
“At this level, every fighter can make a strong blow. Anthony is such a fighter. He deserves respect,” Artur Beterbiev praised his opponent. In the match against the Russian boxer, Anthony Yarde played quite well in the second and 5th half, but that was not enough for him to turn the game upside down.
Preparing to turn 38, Artur Beterbiev said the age is not the most important factor to decide to success or fail with a professional boxing boxing. He added: “I switched to a professional boxing competition when I was 28 years old, so the boxers like Yarde had more time to cultivate themselves. He will fight better in the future.”
The victory of Anthony Yarde helped Artur Beterbiev to have the 19th consecutive victory in his career. He has not lost any match when he stepped up to the boxing arena. Another interesting detail is that the Russian boxer still possesses the rate of winning less than 100% in the matches he participated in, the perfect number for an elderly boxer.
With 3 IBF, WBO and WBC belts, Beterbiev only lack WBA belt to become an absolute champion in the Light Heavyweight weight class. However, to do that, he needed to defeat Dmitry Bivol. “I want to fight with him, a match that is eaten in the air. The winner will have 4 belts,” Beterbiev said.
