Yard: "I want everyone to call Beterbiev a monster"

British light heavyweight Anthony Yard praised his future rival, the WBO, WBC and IBF world champion Canadian Artur Beterbiev. According to Yard, he likes that his opponent is considered a monster by everyone.

“Beterbiev had more than 300 amateur fights, while I only had 12. He had seven fights for the world title and won them all by knockout. I have to be a stupid person not to respect his resume and consider Arthur a weak fighter.

On the other hand, you get the best, most dangerous, and most focused version of me when I feel someone is a threat. When a Chihuahua is chasing you, you may be calm, but when a Doberman or Pit Bull is chasing you, your pupils dilate. This is my mentality.

Therefore, I want everyone to call Beterbiev a monster, because in this case I will be the best version during the fight, ”Yard is quoted by Ringnews24

Recall that Beterbiev and Yard will fight on January 28 in London.
