ARTUR BETERBIEV is the only world champion with a 100 per cent KO ratio - but the best light heavyweight in the world insists he finds no joy in knocking people out.

If you are a true boxing fan, it is impossible not to respect this man

True - maximum respect. I wonder what the over-under is here - I would be shocked if this goes to the cards - judges probably be doing doodles.

That made me laugh a lot harder than it should have....

Beterbiev is just business like in his boxing approach. It is so different than most other boxers of an elite level. They look for emotional edges, any slight at all to focus and motivate them. But Beterbiev approaches the gym, the prep, the studying, the fight night as another project to complete. It is kind of refreshing. He is also so completely entertaining in the ring, it is hard to get that business like attitude to line up. He states he may not "enjoy" KO-ing his opponents, but he sure seems like he does in that ring with that killer instinct he unloads. He is fantastic at it. I see no path for a Yarde upset unless Beterbiev throws up a bad performance.

Hell of a gentleman the soon to be unified champion

It's a shame he was kept on the shelf for so long by his so called promoter Yvon Michel. He'll be 38 next week and his prime was mostly spent watching the top of the division from the sidelines

Beterbiev is now feeling the regret of signing to fight an athletic specimen like Yarde.....too late to go back now!

Only despite yardes undoubted athleticism, other than the "punchers chance", he just doesn't have the skills or experience against at world level opposition to beat Beterbiev.

After those words and how dangerous Yarde is I think the KO will come at the first 27 seconds of the 1st round. Bye Yarde.
