Boxing fans enjoy Artur Beterbiev, and thankfully he fights again this month. They want to see Beterbiev fight Dmitry Bivol to unify the Light Heavyweight Division. Instead, Beterbiev fights Yarde on the final Saturday in January. It is hard to believe that Yarde is finally getting his shot, but that is just what is happening.
Beterbiev feels almost invincible heading into this fight. The light heavyweight has won 18 fights, with all 18 victories coming by knockout. The key for the fighter lies in his combinations and particularly his power shots. His ability to fight very well despite some longer layoffs is uncanny. The 37-year-old pugilist is primed and ready to take care of business. This fight likely sets up some bigger paydays.

This fight expects to be fascinating only because of all the potential fights after this one. Let us be honest. Now, no one has any clue what may truly happen next. Will the Bivol fight finally occur in the second half of 2023? Below are the light heavyweight boxing picks as Beterbiev looks to go 19-0.
Is this the division of Artur Beterbiev? Several reasons point out the Canadian citizen (Chechen descent) as a big light heavyweight boxing pick favorite. One thing is this. The fighter beats up all comers in a brutal fashion. Whether it be in the early or later rounds, Beterbiev keeps racking up those knockouts and stoppages. Again that Joe Brown Jr. fight was not a contest as the boxer unleashed on the poor American. He did not stand a chance.
Now, this is the type of fight which again tests Beterbiev a little. The dilemma is that Beterbiev needed someone to fight, and the 31-year-old Englishman was more than willing to take this fight on. This represents a chance of a lifetime to Anthony Yarde. Let us be honest. The strength Beterbiev generates can be downright frightening.

Artur Beterbiev remains laser-focused on winning this fight. That is just known at this point. Does this go fewer than seven rounds on Saturday? Perhaps, does it go even less? Beterbiev averages 4.6 rounds a fight, and again that last fight went two rounds. There are options and will be some safer wagers to make later. One of them is to go with Artur Beterbiev in six rounds or fewer on January 28th. It figures to not be Even for long.
Anthony Yarde gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot on January 28th, but the English fighter must be careful. It is not enough that fans know Yarde has a three-match winning streak. The boxer possesses some power, with 22 knockouts in his 23 wins. He did win his last fight after dropping three consecutive bouts. The problem with Yarde is he thinks he can hurt Beterbiev, but does he have the movement to set up those power shots?
The thought process dictates that the British fighter cannot trade power and body shots with Beterbiev. He has more boxing experience and can maintain range well enough. With how focused Beterbiev looks in training, Yarde must hope he can catch his opponent early. Sending a message will tick Beterbiev off, especially if the challenger cannot slow down the champion.
The younger fighter will almost need to score a lucky shot for the light heavyweight boxing picks. This would be almost a miracle considering that Yarde does not have the foot speed of even Dmitry Bivol or the power of Canelo Alvarez. Yarde’s last shot at a title belt ended with Sergey Kovalev scoring a TKO on the English fighter. Hopefully, Yarde learned something, and yet it is an even longer shot here.
Light Heavyweight boxing picks and props as the top online boxing odds are not all out. Only the one prop came out early and that could go offline at any time. Expect more to come out in the next week or two as the fight draws closer.
Alas, this feels like the type of bout where Beterbiev wants to message Bivol, Alvarez, or whoever is truly next. Again, there is little reason to suggest this fight will go to the scorecards. Honestly, it is a matter of when not if, as to a knockout.
If one wants to hedge things a little, wait to see how the props shift between now and the 28th. That is your best bet as far as additional wagers.
The light heavyweight boxing picks say take Artur Beterbiev to defend his multiple belts on January 28th.
