Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur LIVE RESULTS: Huge fight on NEXT as British stars face off in huge trilogy bout
THEY say bad things come in threes - but not in boxing - as Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur are set to battle it out in a huge trilogy bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium! The pair first met in December 2020 when Lyndon Arthur won via a split decision, however, Yarde bounced back during their second encounter with an impressive fourth-round KO victory a year later. And now the two British stars go blow-for-blow to earn the official bragging rights. Fans are also being spoiled as this fight is the build-up to the main event where Chris Eubank Jr takes on Conor Benn. Today, 18:32 By Kieran Davies Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke Next up we have a fight for the British cruiserweight title. It should be an interesting as it is Tottenham versus Arsenal. Even more apt that it is taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This one is a tough one to call for a winner. Clarke is walking on to an Arsenal song, he is lucky the stadium is quite empty or he could have been fighting on his way to the ring. Today, 18:25 By Kieran Davies 'The Gentleman' gets convincing victory Chris Billam-Smith went the distance in his fight with Brandon Glanton on the undercard this evening. As both boxers waited for the judges' scorecard, Glanton's corner were not showing the confidence of people thinking they had done enough to win the fight. Billam-Smith got a unanimous decision and a victory that should get his career back on a positive path. Today, 18:19 By Kieran Davies Welcome to Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur Tonight we will see the outcome of this much-awaited trilogy as the pair see who will be thrusting themselves into world title contention once again. Yarde has had an impressive career to date, 26-3 (24 KOs), but will feel that is a score to be settled in the ring this evening. Arthur has a similarly impressive record, 24-2 (16 KOs), and will be looking to utilise his jab once again as a major tactic to get a positive result against his opponent in this trilogy fight. He will have a point to prove as Yarde battered him in the rematch after his victory, getting knocked out in the fourth round. Since their last meeting, Yarde was stopped by Artur Beterbiev and Arthur was schooled by Dmitry Bivol in 2023.

‘There's a bit of bad blood there' – Anthony Yarde issues brutal warning to Lyndon Arthur ahead of trilogy fight
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTHONY YARDE warned history will brutally repeat itself when he settles "bad blood" with Lyndon Arthur. The light-heavyweights settle their trilogy series on Saturday night at Tottenham's stadium on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur ahead of their trilogy fight Credit: Getty It comes five years after Arthur stunned Yarde to defeat before losing the rematch a year later via dominant fourth-round stoppage. The score is now even and Yarde told BoxingScene: 'I know that Lyndon Arthur is not a gatekeeper. He is a guy who will want his revenge. "Even after I beat him in our rematch, the first thing he said to me was, 'I want my belts back. I want to fight again.' He will be seeing this as a massive opportunity. 'Knowing that, plus the fact there's a bit of bad blood there, makes this a very exciting fight for me.'

He said: 'I don't ever go into a boxing ring expecting anything in terms of the opponent fighting a certain way, or the fight playing out a certain way. "But he's known as a fighter who fights on the back foot, jabs a lot, and clinches a lot. He might come with something different this time. Who knows? "I'm just seeing it as a fresh fight. We know each other well enough, as two people going into a ring and fighting, but you still can't assume anything.

I know I'm better now than I was when we fought three years ago.' Yarde, 33, warns he is even more ferocious now - four years of from his savage stoppage at the Copper Box. He said: 'I'm going to be more aggressive, better, sharper. Hopefully he's better as well. I'm probably the best [version of himself] out of the three. "Third time's a charm, they say, and of the three fights we have had, I feel like I am in the best place mentally for this one.' 3 Yarde was beaten on points in his first fight with Arthur in 2020 Credit: Getty

Boxing saved Lyndon Arthur from life of crime on gritty Manchester streets after brother was tragically shot dead
Boxer and his uncle opened up on the tragic incident 'changed my life' Boxing saved Lyndon Arthur from life of crime on gritty Manchester streets after brother was tragically shot dead Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LYNDON ARTHUR was just 10 years old when his brother was brutally shot dead - but it proved to be an inspiration to his boxing career. Zennen Blackburn was gunned down in Moston - near Manchester's city centre - in 2002 but still the murder is unsolved.

That was until his uncle Pat Barrett - a former British and European champion turned trainer - intervened and brought his nephew to the gym. Barrett told the BBC in 2020: "He was sat on the pavement where his brother was shot. "And I drove on the estate and picked him up and took him back to my house, had a talk with him, calmed him down and he stayed with me for a week or two. "Then I remember taking him to the gym, it was just a weights gym and I saw that once he was doing something, he picked up on the training. "So I said, 'Okay then I'm going to take you to the boxing gym now.' I'm proud of him for how he's changed his life." Arthur, who held the Commonwealth title, admitted: "I'm an estate kid and I grew up doing estate things. "It would have been easy for me to be in jail, it could have been easy for me to be dead. So boxing has changed my life." Arthur now has a record of 24 wins and just two losses - coming against world champion Dmitry Bivol and Anthony Yarde. And he returns on Saturday on Chris Eubank and Conor Benn's undercard at Tottenham's stadium for a trilogy bout with Yarde. Arthur stunned his London rival in 2020 - before losing the rematch a year later - but he dedicated his shock victory at the time to brother Zennen. He said: 'My brother, he died a few years ago, but he was here one million per cent. 'My brother would have loved to have seen this, but he will be looking down now thinking, 'Wow! That's my little brother'. 'I was 10 when he died and I could easily have gone the other way. I was never a gangster, but where we grew up it was full of people like that. 'It would have been easy for me to go left. I've put a lot into boxing, 10 or 11 years now, I'm ranked in the world, I've just fought my second headline show and I want to be a world champion.' Arthur - who has a tattoo of his brother's name on his arm - has a son of his own - Elellveay Van Arthur - who acts as another inspiration to his career. Uncle and coach Barrett said: "I'm proud of what he's done with his life. "But the way boxing has turned his life around, it's just that typical what you hear like the Mike Tyson story from the Bronx. "Lyndon Arthur's story is no different from that and how he's changed his life." Arthur, now 33, added: "I've got a career that my mum would be proud of, my brother looking down would be proud of, anybody that I've lost around me would be proud of. My friends are proud of me." 6 Yarde and Arthur ahead of their trilogy fight Credit: Getty 6 Yarde won the 2021 rematch via fourth-round stoppage Credit: Richard Pelham / The Sun
