“My personality has been proven time and time again – I don’t care who the name is. The fact it’s him makes it better, because he’s one of the best in the world, and I just see it as another opportunity to have a great challenge; another opportunity to win a world title.
“Beterbiev’s record is still probably the most dangerous. Benavidez is highly rated; highly avoided; very, very avoided. I’m actually excited again. It’s such a big challenge for me.
“I’m fighting him – I’m a person who takes on all challenges. I’ll see on the night [how good he really is]. He hasn’t fought anyone like me yet. I’ve never been a person to look at who someone’s fought or how they’ve done against them. For example, when the fight got made with me and Beterbiev, everyone said I’m crazy; I’m out of my league. ‘This guy’s a killer.’ I feel like, you go in there, you have a fight, and if it’s your time, you’ll win the fight. Play your best; if it’s my time, I’m gonna win the fight. We’ll wait and see.”
Yarde had previously expected to fight Joshua Buatsi, but was frustrated by a combination of first a dispute with his long-term promoter Queensberry Promotions and then watching Buatsi instead agree to fight another British light heavyweight in Callum Smith, who inflicted his first defeat.
