The Beast is back! Anthony Yarde joins bumper BOXXER bill
WBO #1 Light heavyweight superstar Anthony Yarde returns to the ring as part of BOXXER’s High Voltage fight night on Saturday, October 19th at the Copper Box Arena in London, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and on Peacock in the USA.
Yarde’s highly anticipated ring return is brought to you in partnership with BOXXER and AY Promotions.
The former two-time world title challenger will provide chief support for the explosive super lightweight contest between fast-rising star Adam Azim and Ohara Davies.
Yarde went toe-to-toe with unbeaten light heavyweight champion Artur Berterbiev in the back and forth, fight of the year for the WBC, IBF and WBO World Titles in January 2023 at Wembley Arena.
The Hackney-boxer has since claimed explosive stoppage wins over Jorge Silva and Marko Nikolic and his highly anticipated ring return will be at the Copper Box Arena as he looks to move back into major title contention.
Anthony Yarde said: “On October 19th, I’m back in my home city and I can’t wait. Everything about it – the occasion, the journey, the arena, the whole event – I’m very excited. The Copper Box Arena is a special venue for me. It’s near where I grew up and I’ve had some great nights there. I’ve been training hard and waiting to get back in the ring to deliver another explosive knockout performance.”

It’s a huge addition to an already stacked fight card. Fans can look forward to an incredible atmosphere and an action-packed night of boxing at the Copper Box Arena in London.”
