Yarde Smashes Baranyi To Claim Wbo European Strap

By Queensberry Promotions

It took Ilford Light-Heavyweight beast Anthony Yarde just 2 minutes and 35 seconds to demolish his latest victim Richard Baranyi.
A huge right hand sent the Copper Box visitor sprawling and the follow-up attack persuaded referee Steve Gray to step in and end the contest.
With the crunching win, Yarde claimed the WBO Light-Heavyweight strap and will now take Baranyi’s place in the Top 10 of their World rankings.
Yarde was stunning again – mixing levels between body and head, the sound of leather on shuddering skin bellowing out around the ringside seats.
Yarde v Baranyi
'It did go completely to plan, the only thing that didn't was I said I was going to stop him with a straight right hand,' he joked after his demolition job.
'I dropped him with one but he got up and I was a bit upset from that and that's why I was aggressive after that.'
