But the 31-year-old is back and ready to challenge for three belts at 175lbs against the division’s king.

Beterbiev boasts 18 wins on his record, winning all of them by emphatic knockout.

The main event should be a firecracker, but there’s also a brilliant undercard to go with it.

Heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma is set to make his debut while his brother Karol is also on the card.

Who is on the Yarde vs Beterbiev undercard?

What has been said?

“Being underdog, over-dog, middle-dog, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m a dog,” he said.

“I understand why the bookies have got it that way, again that’s what edges me on. I like this, it gives me goosebumps.

“I’m as happy as Beterbiev, this ‘scary person’. I’m happy. I’m happy it’s three belts.

“It makes it all that much better. It feels like it’s earned, no easy way out.

“He should be respected, I’ve respected him this far,” he added.

“But when it’s in the ring, there’s no respect. You try and take the respect away from your opponent.”
