He has the most perfect record in boxing, he&#8217;s a boxing champion,&#8221; Frank Warren told BT Sport of IBF\/WBC\/WBO light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev. .<\/p>\n<p>Warren said of Anthony Yard, &#8220;It&#8217;s a tough fight for our guy, but I think this could be his chance. &#8216;He can punch, he can box. We&#8217;ve seen it. He&#8217;s a little more experienced, and I generally feel he can flip the odds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tfGJRtgqa3w\" data-id=\"tfGJRtgqa3w\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\">\n<div><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tfGJRtgqa3w\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube videos\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Frank Warren: Yarde &#039;a more powerful puncher&#039; | Artur Beterbiev v Anthony Yarde | Boxing exclusive\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tfGJRtgqa3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He came too late,&#8221; Warren said of Yard hurting Kovalev late in the fight. If he had pushed himself, he would have beaten him.<\/p>\n<p>Kovalev had a great amateur record, a great pro, a great amateur record. As you said, it&#8217;s a tough battle. One thing about both is that they&#8217;re both big punchers, so I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll go far.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He does; he can do it,&#8221; Warren said of Yards being able to knock out anyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a terrible time for him. He lost three members of his family to Covid. It took a lot from him. showed him everything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good luck. Hopefully the timing is right for this. He worked hard and now it&#8217;s up to him. He&#8217;s the one to win. He has to show everyone what he can do, and I think he can do it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re going to back him,&#8221; Warren said of the OVO Arena crowd backing Yarde on Saturday. [Beterbiev] Looking down at Anthony.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We fought co-promoter Bob Arum. They think their guy is strong, but I like our guy too. It&#8217;s going to be very interesting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, we know what he is. He&#8217;s a monster, but our man is a monster too. If he gets you, you go. We know he&#8217;s We know he&#8217;s been floored by Callum Johnson. &#8220;We know he can get caught and the difference is often made with a big puncher. But our man is more He&#8217;s a powerful puncher,&#8221; said Warren.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMia2h0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJveGluZ25ld3MyNC5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS9hbnRob255LXlhcmRlLWNhbi11cHNldC1hcnR1ci1iZXRlcmJpZXYtb24tc2F0dXJkYXktc2F5cy1mcmFuay13YXJyZW4v0gEA?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] To Sam Voltz: Promoter Frank Warren has the strength Anthony Yard needs to defeat IBF\/WBC\/WBO Light Heavyweight Champion Arthur Beterbiev at the OVO Arena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boxing-mma-combat-sports","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/beterbiev.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
