Win Methods
At #3 in the light heavyweight rankings, Anthony Yarde — "The Beast from the East" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
Judges are mostly decorative at his fights. 24 of 27 wins have come inside the distance, a 89% KO rate that shapes how every opponent trains for him.
The last fight went to David Benavidez (TKO R7) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
