The beast of the east, Anthony Yarde also has a fascinating career. In his 25 fights career, the player has won 23 fights, of which, 22 were from TKOs.

“What fighters say in press conferences leading up to a fight, 50% of the time, they’re wrong. I don’t care; it doesn’t matter. At least he [Yarde] didn’t say, ‘I don’t think he punches so hard.’ At least he didn’t say that. He at least acknowledges that.”Russ Anber said.
