Beterbiev vs Yarde: What has been said?
Yarde is aware of the tough task he faces against the unbeaten Beterbiev next month.
“It feels like the right time for me. I came from nothing and if I get an opportunity I take it,” he said.
“I need to stop fighting monsters but I got into this sport to fight the best. Lions have no choice but to hunt if they are going hungry.
“Since I’ve started boxing I’ve not had more than one week out of the gym. Beterbiev had more than 200 amateur fights and 18 professional, but I’m going to be sharp and focused.
He added: “In the light-heavyweight division, he has been nothing but a wrecking ball, knocking out every opponent so far.
“He’s very powerful but I feel I’m faster and, by age, I’m fresher, but in experience, I’m behind him.”
