What have they said?
“He didn’t want to come to Manchester and fight me,” Arthur said.
“I believe they were too scared to come to Manchester. He is going to come out fast. There isn’t a chance on this earth he can outbox me.
“I know for a fact what he will try to do. The only thing he can do is try and knock me out.”
Yarde said: “I just said make the rematch happen. I don’t b*t I don’t do excuses. Judges’ said I lost. The fight went the way it went and that’s it.
“If I land a shot and knock him down I wont wait for him to recover. I will finish the job. I am going to knock him out.”
