Today, 18:32 By Kieran Davies Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke Next up we have a fight for the British cruiserweight title. It should be an interesting as it is Tottenham versus Arsenal. Even more apt that it is taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This one is a tough one to call for a winner. Clarke is walking on to an Arsenal song, he is lucky the stadium is quite empty or he could have been fighting on his way to the ring. Today, 18:25 By Kieran Davies 'The Gentleman' gets convincing victory Chris Billam-Smith went the distance in his fight with Brandon Glanton on the undercard this evening. As both boxers waited for the judges' scorecard, Glanton's corner were not showing the confidence of people thinking they had done enough to win the fight. Billam-Smith got a unanimous decision and a victory that should get his career back on a positive path.

Yarde has had an impressive career to date, 26-3 (24 KOs), but will feel that is a score to be settled in the ring this evening. Arthur has a similarly impressive record, 24-2 (16 KOs), and will be looking to utilise his jab once again as a major tactic to get a positive result against his opponent in this trilogy fight. He will have a point to prove as Yarde battered him in the rematch after his victory, getting knocked out in the fourth round. Since their last meeting, Yarde was stopped by Artur Beterbiev and Arthur was schooled by Dmitry Bivol in 2023.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTHONY YARDE warned history will brutally repeat itself when he settles "bad blood" with Lyndon Arthur. The light-heavyweights settle their trilogy series on Saturday night at Tottenham's stadium on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur ahead of their trilogy fight Credit: Getty It comes five years after Arthur stunned Yarde to defeat before losing the rematch a year later via dominant fourth-round stoppage. The score is now even and Yarde told BoxingScene: 'I know that Lyndon Arthur is not a gatekeeper. He is a guy who will want his revenge. "Even after I beat him in our rematch, the first thing he said to me was, 'I want my belts back. I want to fight again.' He will be seeing this as a massive opportunity. 'Knowing that, plus the fact there's a bit of bad blood there, makes this a very exciting fight for me.'

He said: 'I don't ever go into a boxing ring expecting anything in terms of the opponent fighting a certain way, or the fight playing out a certain way. "But he's known as a fighter who fights on the back foot, jabs a lot, and clinches a lot. He might come with something different this time. Who knows? "I'm just seeing it as a fresh fight. We know each other well enough, as two people going into a ring and fighting, but you still can't assume anything.

I know I'm better now than I was when we fought three years ago.' Yarde, 33, warns he is even more ferocious now - four years of from his savage stoppage at the Copper Box. He said: 'I'm going to be more aggressive, better, sharper. Hopefully he's better as well. I'm probably the best [version of himself] out of the three. "Third time's a charm, they say, and of the three fights we have had, I feel like I am in the best place mentally for this one.' 3 Yarde was beaten on points in his first fight with Arthur in 2020 Credit: Getty
