How to watch Beterbiev vs Yarde: Live stream and TV channel for boxing tonight
Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde lock horns
in a massive unified light-
heavyweight title showdown in London tonight.
It is a real treat for British boxing fans to see one of the sport’s most formidable
and ferocious punchers compete for the first time on UK soil as Beterbiev defends
the WBC, IBF and WBO belts at 175lbs against his
mandatory challenger at
Wembley Arena.
Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) is a hugely dangerous puncher,
but he has plenty of skill
to go with it. His hope is to unify the three light-heavyweight belts he holds with
the one held by compatriot Dmitry Bivol, but that fight hasn’t come together yet
so instead he’s gone on the road for this. At 38, he can’t afford any slip-ups. Yarde
(23-2, 22 KOs) has had a much more meandering career, but he’ll be aiming to
prove he’s fixed up some of the holes he’s
displayed in the past, and show himself
as a true world-level fighter.
This card is available on ESPN+ in the US and BT Sport in the UK. The scheduled
start time of the card is 2pm ET, though ESPN+’s schedule doesn’t start till
3:30pm: presumably there will be prelims shown on BT that ESPN won’t carry.
Ringwalks for the main event are expected at about 5:30pm ET, but stay tuned
here for updates on that.
The Russian is an overwhelming favourite to make it 19 straight professional wins
on Saturday as he bids to keep his remarkable knockout streak intact and
potentially set up a mouthwatering undisputed meeting with compatriot and
WBA king Dmitry Bivol later this year.
The odds are seriously stacked against Yarde, but he is
backing himself to pull off
an almighty upset in a much-anticipated main event.
The ‘Beast from the East’ has reeled off three straight wins since his shock split-
decision loss to Lyndon Arthur back in 2020, avenging that second career
defeat
with a big knockout either side of comfortable wins over low-key opposition in
Alex Theran and Stefani Koykov.
Yarde will hope to draw on his experience of his previous world title tilt in August
2019, when he travelled to Russia and almost stunned Sergey Kovalev before
succumbing to a battling loss.
Here’s where to watch all of tonight’s fights, including the chief support act - a
WBA flyweight scrap between unbeaten rivals in Artem Dalakian and David
Jimenez.
