Anthony Yarde is coming off an eighth-round TKO loss against Artur Beterbiev. He failed to win the Unified Light-Heavyweight Titles in this bout. With this loss, his three-fight winning was also snapped. His last win came against Stefani Koykov in November 2022. Prior to that, he also defeated Lyndon Arthur and Alex Theran.
Now, Anthony Yarde will be determined to rebound from his recent loss against Beterbiev as he prepares himself for another title shot. Now, it remains to be seen who will be revealed as his opponent.
Zhilei Zhang vs Joe Joyce II is one of the most anticipated rematches of this year. Joyce lost the first match to Zhang via TKO earlier this year, and now he is looking for revenge.
