What has been said?
Anthony Yarde:
It's been very frustrating,” he admitted. “The fight I had against Beterbiev [in 2023] won ‘Fight of the Year’ and I was ready to go again and build on the momentum from it. We tried to get the rematch but he went on to do bigger things and fight Bivol.
“For me, it was hard, because I still wanted to be involved in big fights. We tried to make certain fights happen – like against [Joshua] Buatsi, and Callum Smith, and some other names – but they didn’t come to fruition. I was also in promotional disputes around the same time. There were a lot of ups and downs and a lot of going round in circles. But it all worked itself out in the end. I just stayed in the gym and kept getting better.
“After the Beterbiev fight I had a nice break and it was probably the best I have looked in the return fight [against Jorge Silva]. Then I had the dispute thing, the layoff, and I fought again but didn’t feel myself. That’s why I’m excited to get out again and be part of a big occasion. That’s when I feel I really thrive.”
Lyndon Arthur:
I don't wanna lose. I never wanted to lose but now I really, really, really, really, really don't wanna lose,” Arthur told Boxing Now. “I know he can beat me because he's done it. I know I have to be on point and switched on the whole time I'm in the ring with him.
