Anthony Yarde, a prominent light heavyweight boxer, returns to the ring on Saturday, October 19. He will face Ralfs “The Train” Vilcans at the Copper Box Arena in London. This fight will be part of the preliminary card for the match between Adam Azim and Ohara Davies.
“For me, it’s activity, getting back in the ring, being active, and entertaining boxing fans,” Yarde said in an interview with Sky Sports. With a record of 25 wins and 3 losses, Yarde is a former two-time world title challenger and ranks first in the WBO standings.
Anthony Yarde’s most recent fight was on February 10 against Marko Nikolic in London, UK. In this bout, Yarde secured a victory in the third round by technical knockout. Now, he aims to regain his position in the title contention.
