I wouldn’t bet on that

Nobody wants this crap fight, even Beterbiev himself is gunning for Bivol and undisputed.

That’s always been his target
It was discussed that if he won this fight , that he and Bivol would fight in a mega fight in Russia
Not so sure that’s going to happen

Warren will do anything to sell a few tickets, he is 1% stake in Tyson Fury can't keep Queensbury afloat forever

What have Yarde done to deserve a shot at Beterbiev, who now a 3 belts holder? True, he is #1 on WBO, but the only real opponent he has faced is Kovalev, an aging Kovalev. He managed to wobble Kovalev but that's because Kovalev gassed out - and Yarde even worse for a much younger fighter. Lyndon Arthur is a regional household name that carry no credibility on resume.
It could be an interim match before unification, but I would rather have it sooner than later while both Bivol and Beterbiev are in their prime. 175 is a much better division to unify than 168. The journey of Beterbiev to unify IBF from The Nail, then Smith, and Bivol still there with WBC is tougher than Canelo sweeping 168.
