Anthony Yarde left the last of his boxing ambitions in the ring at 6am on Sunday in Riyadh.
Yarde was rescued from his own bravery and the flying fists of David Benavidez in round seven of a one-way fight; Yarde was on his feet, bloodied and beaten in his third attempt to win a version of the world light-heavyweight title when it was mercifully stopped. It was a difficult watch in the end.
