Yarde has been building back up towards a shot at the light-heavyweight title, after losing to Artur Beterbiev in 2023.
The Brit had also suffered a first defeat of his career going for the light-heavyweight title in 2019, losing to an 11th round TKO against Sergey Kovalev.
Since a defeat to Beterbiev, Yarde has rebuilt, beating Jorge Silva, Marko Nikolic and most recently Ralfs Vilcans on a points decision in October last year.
Lyndon Arthur is also in the process of rebuilding, falling victim to the Beterbiev-Bivol feud, losing to Dmitry Bivol in December 2023, dropping the IBO light heavyweight title in the process.
Arthur won his most recent bout in a split decision win over Liam Cameron in June last year.
These two rivals have met twice before and will finally settle their 1-1 beef.
Arthur won the first fight in December 2020 with a tight split decision.
Yarde then got his revenge in the rematch 12 months later with a brilliant fourth-round KO win.

Max Verstappen opens up on Christian Horner axe and how it affects his Red Bull future
Christian Horner was dismissed by Red Bull more than a week ago and Max Verstappen's future with the team has been in the spotlight ever since amid links to Mercedes Max Verstappen insists the departure of former boss Christian Horner will have no bearing on the decision about his Formula 1 future. The Dutchman has a contract with the team until 2028 but has been linked with an exit regardless, amid strong speculation he could quit for rivals Mercedes. At this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, Verstappen and his Red Bill colleagues will race without Horner for the first time. After 20 years in charge, famously never missing a single race in that period, the Brit was removed from his team principal and chief executive roles last week. Verstappen has been coy whenever asked about his future in recent weeks, often preferring not to make definitive statements, which has only fuelled speculation. But he was very clear when asked if Horner's departure will impact his own future plans. He replied: "No, not really." Under new boss Laurent Mekies, the Dutchman went on to say he is looking forward to going "in a different direction" and seeing if the team can find more performance in the short-term. The four-time F1 champion said: "I'm looking forward to it. As you said, I don't think it will make any difference to my decision about the future. The only thing that matters is that we're working on the car and making it as fast as possible "And I've already said that the last year and a half haven't gone as we would have liked. We're now trying to become more competitive for this year, but also for the new regulations [in 2026]." After that direct response, Verstappen went back to being vague when asked if there is any possibility at all that he could drive for Mercedes next year. "There's also a chance I won't wake up tomorrow. Then I won't drive at all," he quipped. Verstappen added: "Life is unpredictable. But overall I am very happy with where I am and I hope, and that was also the goal we set when we made a new deal, that I can drive here until the end of my career." And that desire to be a one-team man throughout his whole F1 career, if he can continue to fight for race wins and titles by doing so, will not be affected by Horner's absence, Verstappen went on to clarify. He added: "At the end of the day, they run the team. I'm the driver, so whatever they decide is fully in their right to do what they want. "I'm equally excited for the team now moving forward because that's what we have to do. Looking back doesn't make sense – it's not going to make you faster. Of course, he's not here now during a race weekend, but it's still like a second family to me."

Ayrshire team set World and British record after completing 100K ski erg challenge
Ski Sirens beat the younger, mixed team target by 10 minutes. An Ayrshire team has set a world and British record after completing a 100K 'ski erg' challenge. The team of 10 determined women, called 'Ski Sirens,' beat a younger, mixed team record by 10 minutes and set a new record in the small, women's, 40-49 age category. The challenge took place at ULT Fitness and Crossfit in Ayr, one year after the first ULT event and was held in aid of Ayrshire Hospice. Team member Evey Prentice, 54, said: "We sang, we danced, we laughed, we counted and miscounted, we sweated, and we swore. "We alternated every minute for the first half, then with 40K to go we switched to 45 second changeovers, which was hard to count when you were starting to feel the bite of exhaustion. "We kept each other going and kept the pace sub two until the last 15K, by which time it had crept up to 2:00:1. With only 30 seconds to blast it and enough time to recover, we began to chase the sub two pace and by the end, although our final screen read a 1:59:9 pace, our verification screen showed a 1:59:8 pace." The team was coached by Annie Atkins, 61, a multiple British and World record holder in Concept2 indoor rowing. Evey first met Annie at Prestwick Rowing Club, where she was inspired by Annie's World record achievements. Aged 50, Evey joined Annie in March 2022 in Rhyl, and earned her first four British and four World records with a large women's team, We Rowed All Night. In the 30-39 and 40-49 age category they set records for 24 hour distance row and 26 hour longest continuous row. A few months later, in December 2022, Annie's journey took a turn when she underwent emergency treatment after a ruptured bowel led to sepsis. Overnight she learned she had stage four bowel cancer, was fitted with a stoma and left with a hernia, yet her determination never waned. At the time of starting chemotherapy, Annie was already planning her comeback regime. Six weeks after surgery and 12 hours after starting chemo she was back to training. Annie said: "I think having goals and a positive mindset definitely helps your recovery. I would also add that because I was so fit on the lead up to my illness, it definitely helped and although this would be conjecture, I honestly believe I wouldn't be here now had I not initially been so fit." Annie was in remission in 2024 and joined ULT gym with Evey where the duo found a bunch of like-minded people and formed ULT Rowtorious Lassies, who broke the same records as Rhyl but in a small team of 10women in the 40-49 age category. Evey said: "In October 2024, Annie and I had competed took solo first and second place, respectively in our age categories in the Driathlon, but we were hungry for more. As the ski erg is part of the Driathlon, Annie looked for a record she thought we could take. There was no record set for the 100K ski erg in the 30-39 and 40-49 age categories. "Annie approached our original ULT Rowtorious Lassies and managed to get most of them to agree. We needed a couple of others to make up our team of 10 and found them easily from the ULT membership." The new team involves 10 members, Annie and Evey, Candice Christie, Clare Holland, Geraldine Hunter, Kathryn Chalmers, Lorna McEwan, Lyndsey Lamount, Hilary McNally and Maria Coughtrie. On May 1, 2025 Annie set up a chat and began posting workouts to prepare the team for the challenge. The team trained together as much as possible, with one, honorary-ULT member, doing her training in Dundee. Ski Sirens initially aimed for a 2.04 pace, the benchmark set by a younger mixed team, but under Annie's guidance the team improved their technique. "Most of us had never seen a sub two, below 2mins/500m, pace and some of us were hovering around the 2.10-2.15 pace. However, Annie provided tips on technique and we trained hard to compete easy", said Evey. Annie added: "The training was hard but I really enjoy training hard. It gives you a focus, drive and so many other great benefits." Just weeks before the record attempt, Annie received devastating news that her cancer was back. Evey shared: "She was confused and devastated. With results and treatment up in the air, we all wanted to do what was best for Annie and she wanted us to carry on but, thankfully, passed the baton to me for organising. "We had already decided, as a team, to donate to Ayrshire Hospice, and Annie wanted to use their Super Summer Draw campaign idea for us." Supper Summer donations could be put towards a fish supper on the private terrace for families to share with a loved one. Dinos and Renaldo's kindly donated fish suppers and ice creams to the team, while Dinos also donated suppers to Ayrshire Hospice and Outcast supported the team with free iced coffees. Annie said: "It's always an amazing feeling to crack another endurance event or world record but to know you have been able to help a charity too is an additional bonus. "I have faced a number of testing times and not just my own battle with cancer but my youngest daughter has faced complex medical issues throughout her life and that is why I actually started doing charity events. "Then tragically last year my beautiful first grandson passed away at just three-days old. Being able to raise awareness for charities and turn tough times into positives certainly helps me cope better." While talking about the challenge, Annie said: "I have done many endurance fitness challenges over the years and each have their own unique demands. "With both the Ski Erg and rowing too, I have had to work at adapting my technique to cater for my abdominal surgery, stoma and incisional hernia. I didn't realise just how much my triceps compensate for my core so three hours into the ski erg event, my triceps were certainly feeling it. "I always remember, though, that the pain is only temporary unlike the enduring pain others face every day and that helps you power through." She added: "I will need to review my goals depending on future treatment but I will definitely be advocating and encouraging a 'training through treatment' approach. "I'm also sure there will be plenty of other challenges and records to break in the future but I really need to keep this quiet as the team will be blocking my number and running the other way when they see me. "I've managed to get Evey to agree to a cumulative 160K each, on any erg, in the month of August, for the 160K people living with cancer." To support Ski Sirens charity fundraiser, please visit here.

Oleksandr Usyk ordered to face rare ‘heavyweight who can cause him problems' following brutal Dubois KO
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS believe that Oleksandr Usyk will come up against the one heavyweight he can "cause him problems." The Ukrainian fighter further punched his name in boxing history with his second KO win over Daniel Dubois on the weekend. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Oleksandr Usyk beat Daniel Dubois on the weekend Credit: Getty 3 He has been ordered to fight Joshua Parker next Credit: Reuters 3 Fans think the Kiwi could cause Usyk issues Credit: Getty Usyk, 38, chinned the Brit in the fifth round to become the three-time undisputed champion of the world. He is now on the lookout for his next opponent and fans are convinced of who it should be. Usyk has dismantled British boxing with devastating wins over Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and now Dubois. But he has been ordered to look further afield for his next entry into the ring. Fans are demanding that Usyk take on Kiwi fighter Joshua Parker, as he is the only remaining boxer who could challenge him. One posted: "Joseph Parker is the only heavyweight aside Fury who can give Usyk some problems, but Usyk still wins by stoppage, maybe." A second wrote: "Uysk can't win on stoppage. USYK on point. Parker will never quit." A third commented: "This would be a good fight." SUN VEGAS WELCOME OFFER: GET £50 BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN A fourth said: "Parker has earned his shot. And I genuinely believe Parker is the best person to give Usyk an actual tough fight." Another added: "Parker might just be Usyk's boogeyman. Parker has that 'thing' in him." 'Laughed it off' - Joseph Parker reveals Usyk's blunt reaction after face-to-face challenge as rival opens door to Fury trilogy Usyk vs Dubois round by round as brutal knockout cements Ukrainian's place in history OLEKSANDR USYK cemented his name in the list of all-time boxing greats as he became a three-time undisputed champion with a fifth round knockout win over Daniel Dubois. Usyk dropped Dubois multiple times as he put any doubts about his first win over the Brit to bed by cementing the repeat and avoiding the revenge. Here, SunSport's Jack Figg gives his round-by-round verdict... ROUND ONE Usyk looks light on his toes, swaying side to side, Dubois plants his feet and walks forward. Stiff jab from Usyk appears to almost wake Dubois up and the Brit responds with a one-two. Usyk searches to the body with a left, blocks a right hand from Dubois and ends the round with a menacing combo. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 ROUND TWO Dubois lunges in with a right hand, Usyk expertly takes half a step back and responds with a counter left. Another right misses from Dubois and he takes a left cross which has him on shaky legs. Already Usyk is finding his rhythm, making Dubois miss and certainly making him pay. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 20 Dubois 18) ROUND THREE Usyk staggers back after a right hand from Dubois - maybe more off balance than hurt. Dubois charges forward with a left hook, right hand but Usyk covers up well. Huge left hook lands on the button from Usyk, sweat sprays off Dubois face. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 30 Dubois 27) ROUND FOUR Right uppercut lands on Usyk's belt-line in a genuine case of dejavu from low-blow gate in their first fight. Dubois traps Usyk in the corner, lands a right but the Ukrainian legend slips off before any troubling damage can be done. Left hand lands for Usyk but Dubois grabs on and closes the distance, smart defence to cap off his best round so far. Usyk 9 Dubois 10 (Usyk 39 Dubois 37) ROUND FIVE Right hook followed by a left hand lands for Usyk has Dubois teetering backwards. Dubois comes forward, charging at Usyk and the two trade off in the corner but DOWN GOES DUBOIS after a counter right hook. He makes it to his feet but is dropped with another left hook and the fight is over! Dubois fails to beat the count and Usyk is once again undisputed heavyweight world champion. Usyk wins by KO And fans will be pleased to discover that Usyk has reportedly been ordered to fight Parker by the WBO. He will have to defend his WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO heavyweight world titles against the New Zealander. The two fighters have 30 days to agree on a deal, and then there will be bids for the purse. Meanwhile, after beating Dubois, Usyk had a press conference in stitches as he named his left hook that won him the fight. He said: "Left hook is like this [imitates a punch]. "And that [is] Ivan. It's a Ukrainian name. Ivan is like a big guy who lives in a village who works. "'What is your name?' [In a heavy voice] 'My name is Ivan'. "It's hard, hard punch. Yeah, Ivan." The undefeated star revealed he wants to spend some time with his family before deciding on his next match. He added: "I don't want anything next, this is enough. I want to rest now. I want to get home to my family and wife and my children. "I want to rest now but maybe - in two or three months - actually no, just rest."
