The IBF, WBC and WBO World light heavy titles are all on the line, as Beterbiev vs Yarde goes down at Wembley Arena. Beterbiev vs Yarde odds from Bovada gives a strong favorite status to the champion, but Yarde has put away undefeated fighters before. Is there a reason to bet the under before you parlay the money line on Artur Beterbiev? We’ll look at everything from high paying props to parlay over unders available at the top boxing betting sites.
Top Beterbiev vs Yarde Boxing Pick
If you’re looking for a parlay addition, or willing to take the small win on the 1:15 return of this major favorite, Beterbiev is a champ that won’t have a strong opponent until Bivol. Yarde’s losses to Kovalev and Lyndon Arthur showed weaknesses he’s yet to recover from. Beterbiev’s tight guard is the bane of a straight-on, no angles punching of Yarde.

Can Yarde Knockout Beterbiev?
Fans of Anthony may be looking for an excuse to bet big on his 5:1 money line, or massive +900 knockout prop. We’re convinced that the under is a better bet, given Beterbiev’s never been downed or even hit clean and Yarde was knocked out just four years ago.
Top Over/Under Betting Picks
| Bet | Odds |
| Under 8.5 | -290 |
| Under 5.5 | +115 |
| Over 3.5 | -480 |
| Fight Goes to Decision, No | -750 |
The under 8.5 covers the majority of Beterbiev and Yarde wins inside of their last ten fights. Yarde’s split decision loss was his only decision since his days doing six rounders. Beterbiev proved his early knockout power against Joe Smith Jr. with a round 2 finish, but his normal finishing range is in rounds 5-10. Could there be a decision? No, but the Over 3.5 rounds pays double the Beterbiev money line and could be the bet to make for Yarde fans. Beterbiev’s chin isn’t going to turn to glass because Anthony walked to the ring. If we see a Yarde win, it will be in the middle rounds.
Top Special Bets for Beterbiev vs Yarde
Beterbiev by knockout is -400, which is still worthy of a parlay if you’re a believer in his defense and late finishing game. The philly shell defense of Yarde makes this the outside angle to left hook an obvious strategy for Beterbiev, one that I feel could force a stoppage. Fight Goes the Distance, Yes is a stunning +425, but Beterbiev has never seen a decision. This is possibly the worst bet on the books for Beterbiev vs Yarde. The Beterbiev in 7-12 at +275 feels like a great return, but most analysts are saying Yarde has five rounds to get it done.
Beterbiev is the Boxing Bettors Cash Cow
Artur Beterbiev was up at -1250 at one point for this fight and he’s a minor -105 underdog against Bivol already. He’s been -525 to -600 in a series of crushing wins, and frankly, his knockout and dominance compared to his betting odds have been some of the best in the sport. Beterbiev may be the value bet fighter of the decade.
