Artur Beterbiev has stopped British star Anthony Yarde to retain his unified world light-heavyweight titles.
Beterbiev and Yarde squared off at the OVO Wembley Arena with 'The Beast From The East' looking to dethrone the undefeated Russian champion in a huge upset. The British star was roared on by his home support at the event, which was his second world title challenge after losing to Sergey Kovalev in 2019.
And it was the Russian who continued his undefeated perfect record, with a brutal eighth round seeing the referee step in to halt proceedings after Beterbiev dropped Yarde with a booming right hook.
