ARSENAL fan Anthony Yarde has a cheeky trick up his sleeve as he prepares to fight behind enemy lines at Tottenham's stadium.

The light-heavyweight Gooner faces Lyndon Arthur in a trilogy bout on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn.

Yarde has worn Arsenal attire all week - potentially riling up any Spurs fans attending the event.

And now the two-time world title challenger teased going one further by walking out to the Gunners' tune North London Forever.

He told Sky Sports: "I might even come in to the theme song."

Yarde was stunned to a points defeat by Arthur in 2020.

But he viciously got redemption in the rematch with a brutal fourth-round stoppage.

Now they prepare to settle the score nearly half a decade after their rivalry first started.

Yarde, 33, said: "Sometimes that's just how it all works out and it's boxing.

"I just take every fight very, very seriously. He's going to be a person that wants to get, you can call it revenge.

"I want to do a better job than I done last time. It's due to be a good clash."

Arthur, 33, said: "I have to be better than the first (fight) better than the second fight.

"I have to take from both, good things that I did in both. Obviously, the second fight was only four rounds but there were still some good bits.

"Personally, I think he's taking this fight lightly. By accident, just naturally thinking it will be easy because of how the second fight went."
