Lyndon Arthur Says Anthony Yarde Rematch Not Happening Next – Reacts to Dillian Whyte’s Win

British light-heavyweight, Lyndon Arthur, is on course to challenge for the world title. The undefeated 29-year-old has slowly risen from the ranks and is now a fight or two away from taking on one of the champions in the division.

 Arthur is fresh off an impressive victory over compatriot Anthony Yarde. As a result, ‘King Arthur’ became the British Commonwealth and WBO intercontinental champion. And as rumors of his next move surface, Arthur has shut down an immediate rematch with Yarde.

The 18-0 boxer caught up with Fred Talks Fighting on YouTube and gave an update on his next move. He said, “It’s not that that I don’t want the rematch. But I, obviously want to be a world champion. And, and I want to move forward. So, it’s just a case of seeing what happens next and seeing what’s right. Rematch won’t be next, regardless.”

This comment showed Arthur’s ambition and confidence. The Englishman feels he can challenge for the title, and thus, would rather push for a shot at world championship glory. However, for Yarde, this will be bad news since he lost a close split decision and will not have the chance to put it right.

Lyndon Arthur reacts to Dillian Whyte’s victory over Alexander Povetkin

Despite his update on his next move, the Brit seemed relaxed. He has been enjoying the exciting boxing fights and even gave his views on the high-profile heavyweight clash between Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin.

Arthur said, “I thought Dillian would win. I just knew he had to stay, had to stay switched on the whole way through. He did well, I was impressed. He looked, he looked sharp, he looked powerful. He looked like he went in there to do what he did.”

This comment showed Arthur’s admiration for his compatriot. Whyte answered several doubters wrong with a fantastic victory over Povetkin. And now, like Arthur, he finds himself a fight or two away from a world title shot.

It will be interesting to see which of the two fighters will get there first.

What do you make of these comments from Lyndon Arthur? Do you think he should fight Anthony Yarde next and close that chapter for good?
