“It doesn't matter about the man behind the belt. For me, it's about th...” — Anthony Yarde Quote

“It doesn't matter about the man behind the belt. For me, it's about the title.”

“I sometimes look on YouTube and see people label videos 'Anthony Yarde sparring his trainer Ade' but that is not sparring, that's just practice. We practice getting attacked, countering and attacking your opponent back, in intelligent ways.”

“It's about getting in there and being ready, getting the fight on your terms, taking the least amount of punishment possible.”

“I would say to the critics that they don't have a black belt in time management like I do.”

“I do worry about population growth and the preservation of the green belt space but I don't think these are insurmountable problems.”

“My goal is to keep going out there and defending my belt and stacking up pay cheques to set myself up for the future.”
