Anthony Yarde faces the toughest test of his career this weekend, as he challenges unified light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev.

For Yarde (23-2, 22 knockouts), this main event in London represents a second shot at becoming a world champion, following his late TKO defeat by Sergey Kovalev in 2019.

And once again, a hardened Russian veteran will stand between the Briton and his dream, as unbeaten Beterbiev puts the WBC, WBO and IBF belts on the line.

The 38-year-old enters Wembley Arena with a perfect record – 18-0 with 18 KO victories – while Yarde, 31, is on a three-fight win streak with stoppage finishes in each of those bouts.

Here’s all you need to know.

The main card is due to start at 7pm GMT (11am PT, 1pm CT, 2pm ET), with ring walks for the main event expected at approximately 10pm GMT (2pm PT, 4pm CT, 5pm ET).
