In a rather boring fight, undefeated Commonwealth light heavyweight champion Lyndon Arthur (17-0, 12 KOs) defeated by split decision the former title challenger Anthony Yarde (19-2, 18 KOs) in the main event of the evening at Church House in London. Yarde was struggling to get past Arthur's jab in an unexpectedly uncompetitive fight. Yarde started going forward when his corner realized that Arthur was not throwing right punches at all. The scores were 115-114, 115-114 in favor of Arthur and 117-111 to Yarde.
