Unified light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev could be the scariest fighter in world boxing, but Saturday night's opponent Anthony Yarde insists he is "just another man"; Beterbiev would consider moving up in weight to fight an old amateur rival, Oleksandr Usyk
Some fighters let their fists do the talking.
In Artur Beterbiev's case, their message would be clear. Be afraid. With a 100 per cent knockout ratio, an unbeaten record and three world title belts, he is possibly the scariest man in the boxing world today.
Beterbiev, born in Khasavyurt in Russia but based Montreal, is undefeated in his 18 pro bouts and the unified WBO, WBC and IBF light-heavyweight champion.
Most impressive has been the style of his victories. He has won all 18 of those fights inside the distance, typically with crushing knockouts.
