Anthony Yarde: Second family member dies from coronavirus

Anthony Yarde's next fight against fellow Briton Lyndon Arthur has been moved from 11 April to 11 July
British boxer Anthony Yarde has announced his grandmother has died from coronavirus.

She is the second member of his family to die as a result of the pandemic, following his father’s death last Friday.

The 28-year-old appealed to people to “just stay home” as he said his grandmother had died on Thursday.

“My dad and his mother have passed just days apart,” the light-heavyweight fighter wrote on social media.

“It’s serious! People are still going out when they don’t need to. I know there’s a lot of opinions about Covid-19 and I have mine but I just know opinions ain’t worth risking your life and others. Just stay home.”

The latest Government figures on Friday showed a further 684 people in the UK have died from coronavirus, bringing the total to 3,605. There are 38,168 confirmed cases.

Yarde said his father had been “fit with no health issues”.

His promoter Frank Warren wrote on Twitter: “We are extremely sad to learn that Anthony Yarde has now lost his nan to the coronavirus.

“We can’t begin to imagine what Anthony and his family are going through and our sincere condolences go out to them.

“Please listen to his heartfelt personal plea, stay at home to save lives.”

Yarde’s next fight was set to be against fellow Briton Lyndon Arthur on 11 April, but the event has been delayed until 11 July because of the pandemic.


Shyt must be heartbreaking for the young brother. Prayers up to him and the rest of his family members.

I don't like how this COVID-19 has been disproportionately hitting black people so hard bruh...
:no:
Very important point. It’s going to hit black folks in the south hard. Higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, lipid disorders, cancer. Also, physicians are being given authority to make decisions about access to ventilators and emergency care. Let’s just say some physicians have inherent bias’s. Black folks catching hell as usual.
