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?

The fight is on Saturday 5 December at Westminster Church House, London.

When are the ring walks and what time will the fight start?

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

The fight will be broadcast on BT Sport 1 with coverage starting at 7:30pm as well as BT Sport’s website and app.
