Anthony Yarde is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on August 13, 1991 in London Borough of Hackney, England, United Kingdom. Anthony Yarde (born 13 August 1991) is a British professional boxer. As of June 2019, he is ranked as the world’s ninth best active light- heavyweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.
On 24 August 2019, Yarde challenged Sergey Kovalev for the WBO light- heavyweight title at the Traktor Sport Palace in Chelyabinsk, Russia, suffering the first defeat of his career by way of an eleventh round knockout. Yarde seemed comfortable in the early rounds, staying out of range and keeping Kovalev at bay with speed and movement. After six rounds of an even, back and forth contest, Yarde began landing accurate hooks to Kovalev’s body in the seventh and eighth rounds that appeared to hurt the champion. In the last minute of the eighth, Yarde landed a straight-right to the head of Kovalev which had the veteran in trouble. Yarde followed up with an accurate salvo of power punches but was unable to capitalise, allowing the visibly hurt Kovalev to stay on his feet for the remainder of the round. After his success in the seventh and eighth rounds, Yarde appeared to tire and lose momentum in the ninth, allowing Kovalev to take control of the fight with combination punches and stiff jabs that began to frequently land on Yarde. The tenth round saw much of the same. In the final 20 seconds of the round, after being backed up against the ropes by Kovalev and being on the receiving end of a flurry of punches with no reply, Yarde was seemingly saved by the bell, which appeared to ring 8 seconds before the end of the round. In round eleven, sensing Yarde’s fatigue, Kovalev upped the pressure and increased his punch output, eventually dropping Yarde with a spearing left-jab to win the fight by knockout. At the time of the stoppage, all three judges had Kovalev ahead with the scorecards reading 98-92, 97-94 and 96-93. a post-fight interview with Steve Bunce for BT Sport, Kovalev praised Yarde’s defence and boxing IQ, insisting Yarde will “100%” be a world champion in the future.
