Lyndon Arthur will soon return to the ring after signing a new advertising contract.
The former Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion has been out of action since losing to Anthony Yarde in a rematch last December.
Arthur appointed Yarde in December 2020 to retain the Commonwealth belt while picking up the vacant WBO International gift.
He then defended the fringe WBO crown with an injury-time win over Davide Faraci in July 2021 before being stopped by Yarde for four rounds at the Copper Box Arena in London.
Both Yarde and Arthur have been inactive since their return clash, but with ‘The Beast From The East’ expecting a… October 22 clash with WBC, IBF and WBO world lightweight champion, Artur Beterbiev at the O2 Arena in London, it’s time for ‘King’ Arthur to step up his comeback preparations, starting with signing an advertising contract with Wasserman boxing.
The news was revealed on Saturday night and will see Arthur (19-1, 13 KOs) have his match aired on Channel 5 following his split from Frank Warren.
Arthur, who hit the field in Canada against the aforementioned Beterbiev and was also in the gym with fellow British lightweight Joshua Buatsi, said:
“I was quiet for a bit after my last game, and we just took the time to assess who could provide the best platform for me.
“I wanted someone to stand behind me and give me the best opportunities and Wasserman did.
“I immediately had a good feeling about what they could do for me and they seemed as happy to work with me as I was with them. You don’t want to feel like you’re a B when working with a promotion, I understand it’s business, but Wasserman greeted me and showed they wanted to give me the job. “
Details of Arthur’s Wasserman and Channel 5’s debut, as he looks to make a triumphant return, are expected to be revealed soon.
But Kalle Sauerland, Wasserman’s head of global boxing, was delighted to secure the signing of the Manchester man coached by Pat Barrett:
“Adding someone with his ambition, qualities and strengths not only speaks volumes about what we want to do, but also how he wants to join us and use our platform. me as soon as possible.
“I’ve been doing this long enough to have a great business approach, but I can’t deny that I’m excited to showcase this man’s talent.”
