Lyndon Arthur has issued a warning to both Anthony Yarde and his trainer Tunde Ajayi ahead of their rematch at London's Copper Box Arena on December 4th.
Yarde will be out for revenge after losing to Arthur via a split decision in December last year, and whoever wins the second instalment will look forward to a shot at WBO champion Joe Smith Jr.
When the pair spoke at a press conference in October, Arthur's trainer Pat Barrett and Ajayi stole the show with a heated verbal exchange.
"One thing, I wouldn’t advise Tunde is to get on the wrong side of Pat somewhere that isn’t public," Arthur said when discussing the animosity between the two men.
"It’s a case of getting this fight out of the way and then the world title next year.
"When I say that I don’t mean it’s a fight I am overlooking. It’s huge because it’s the win that brings world titles.
“Yarde and myself are fighters and just want to settle our business next month.
“I guess Yarde and myself are the same sort of people and whenever I have met him there isn’t any animosity. He is in my division and we have to fight."
