A delayed title clash between Beterbiev and WBO mandatory challenger Yarde was officially confirmed for January 28 at Wembley Arena on Saturday night, shortly after the Briton stopped Stefani Koykov in the third round of his first fight for almost a year in Telford, having not competed since gaining revenge over domestic rival Lyndon Arthur in a rematch in December 2021.
