For the third and surely final time, Britain’s Anthony Yarde aims to become a world champion, but he faces a tough test against one of the most-fearsome fighters in boxing’s upper divisions: WBC light-heavyweight champ David Benavidez.

Benavidez – a former super-middleweight champion – carries a pro record of 30-0 (24 KOs) into this fight, while Yarde is 27-3 (24 KOs).
