Fighter history
Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) is a -900 betting favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook in this fight. He cemented himself as the king of the division and added the WBO light heavyweight title to his collection with a second-round knockout against Joe Smith Jr. in a unification bout on June 18, 2022. The Russian-born fighter has won every professional fight by knockout with only one fight even reaching the 12th round.
Yarde earned this title shot after a third-round knockout against Stefani Koykov on November 19, 2022 in England. The British boxer has been in this posiiton before, but lost to then WBO-champion Sergey Kovalev in the 11th round on August 24, 2019. In that fight Yarde appeared to be ahead on the scorecards through eight rounds, but began to slow down his output and left himself open for Kovalev’s aggression. After the fight Kovalev said that he believed Yarde would “100 percent be a world champion someday”. Yarde is a +500 betting underdog.
