Anthony Yarde will be out for revenge tonight when he gets his chance to rematch Lyndon Arthur. It’s a fight that was not received well by British boxing fans given the nature of the first bout, which was won clearly by Arthur on the scorecards.

The Mancunian outfoxed his London rival, utilising his jab in a clash that lacked fireworks.

But that hasn’t been the case in the build-up to this fight, as trainers Pat Barrett and Tunde Ajayi clashed at the press conference that confirmed the rematch was on.

Arthur feels aggrieved Frank Warren hasn’t landed him a world title shot on the back of his win with stablemate Callum Johnson now set to face Joe Smith Jr in January in New York for the WBO light-heavyweight title.

The unbeaten 30-year-old Commonwealth champion was hoping Yarde would at least come to Manchester for the rematch but instead, he was told he would have to come back to London.

Yarde knows he is approaching do-or-die territory having now lost twice in his career to Arthur and Sergey Kovalev when he challenged for the world title in 2019.

Whoever wins this bout is on track to earn a shot at world honours in 2022.

Then over in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning, Devin Haney goes to war with JoJo Diaz as he defends his WBC lightweight world title at the MGM Grand.

After George Kambosos Jr’s stunning upset of Teofimo Lopez last week in New York, a potential blockbuster undisputed fight awaits Haney in the new year, providing he can get the job done.

Haney has already made it clear he would be willing to go to Down Under for the bout but Diaz is by no means an easy opponent having lost just once in 34 pro bouts.
