The English boxer, after rebuilding his career, will face David Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) for the WBC belt in Saudi Arabia.\n\nAs in their previous encounters, Yarde starts as the underdog. However, he trusts in his evolution since those defeats. The 34-year-old pugilist, originally from East London, fell to Beterbiev in the eighth round, and against Kovalev he lasted 11 rounds.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&#8217;m tired of being the one who puts up great fights, but loses. I need to win this one and break the bets.<\/p><cite>Anthony Yarde<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nYarde emphasizes the importance of the experience gained. He believes that, if he were to face Beterbiev again, the result would be different.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think I exposed a lot in the fight against Beterbiev, because until then we had never seen him take so many punches or be pushed around like I was able to do.<\/p><cite>Anthony Yarde<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1118%2Fr1577224_2_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Getty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nBenavidez, who will make his first title defense against Yarde in Riyadh, is not perceived as a feared puncher like Beterbiev or Kovalev. In his last fight, Benavidez outpointed David Morell by unanimous decision.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>On paper, he&#8217;s not as dangerous as Beterbiev or Kovalev, but you don&#8217;t know how dangerous a puncher is until you get in the ring with him.<\/p><cite>Anthony Yarde<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nYarde has won four fights since his defeat to Beterbiev. His last performance was in April, where he defeated Lyndon Arthur by unanimous decision in a trilogy.\n\nAfter everything I&#8217;ve been through in life, this fight could change it.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Yarde prepares for his third attempt to conquer a world light heavyweight title, and assures that this time it will be different.
