Your support makes all the difference.Anthony Yarde takes on Lyndon Arthur tonight in an all-British blockbuster light heavyweight bout in London.
Yarde, who fell agonisingly short when challenging for a world title against Sergey Kovalev, returned to the ring in a warm-up fight against Dec Spelman in September, winning via sixth round TKO.
Arthur, who also most recently defeated Spelman via unanimous decision, should provide a sterner test, though. The Mancunian is unbeaten in 17 professional fights and has pledged to defy predictions of a routine win for the favourite.
The card also features an exciting undercard, with prodigious amateur Willy Hutchinson fighting for the British middleweight title.
Here is everything you need to know:
When and where is the fight?

What TV channel is it on and how can I watch it?
