ANTHONY YARDE is ready to make his world title dream come true next year after finally overcoming his nightmare 2020.
The Londoner roared that the Beast from the East' is back after he blitzed British rival Lyndon Arthur in four rounds at the Copper Box to book a world title shot next year.
It was revenge for a points loss to the Manchester man a year ago at the end of what had been a torrid 2020 for Yarde.
The Hackney fighter lost his father and three of his grandparents to Covid-19 as the pandemic rocked his family.
He put the defeat by Arthur down to him still grieving his personal losses but showed on Saturday his focus is back with the impressive win to claim the Commonwealth light-heavyweight crown.
