I don't know a lot about Yarde but would agree that even at this stage of Kovalev's career it would seem to be a pretty big step up for him, given the list of no names on Yarde's resume. So yeah it looks like Frank Warren is cashing out here but it seems Kovalev is the one in line for the biggest payday, with reports saying that his proposed fight with Canelo is a done deal if he gets the win over Yarde.

Erislandy Lara: “I think after the sixth round, you will see all the training that I did and the game plan that we have, start to break him down. After that, the knockout is going to come…I come well prepared for this fight. The fight with Canelo was a long time ago, so now I’m just looking forward and toward being in bigger fights.”
Ramon Alvarez: “I’m not worried about what Lara’s mindset is. I’m prepared and ready to go. I’m here to write my own story as I’ve been doing by working hard since day one. What happened between my brother and Lara was years ago and you can’t change history…but I will make history on Saturday night. The Alvarez brothers are going to make more history for Mexico when I win this title.”

This could well be a contender for fight of the year and I can't wait to see it. These guys have a combined record of 31-0 with 28 KOs - if only we saw more matchups like this in boxing!

Canelo vs. Kovalev on November 2?
Update: Golden Boy President Eric Gomez stated “Nothing done,” on social media. So we’ll see what ultimately unfolds.
Multi-division world champion Canelo Alvarez will reportedly challenge WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev on November 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. According to ESPN Deportes, the fight has been agreed upon, but is not yet signed. Canelo will be looking to win a world title in a fourth weight division.
Canelo-Kovalev had been on the table before Kovalev’s recent defense against Anthony Yarde and a step-aside offer had even been refused by Yarde. Kovalev knocked out Yarde in round eleven and stated afterward that he wanted Canelo next.
Early odds on the fight have Canelo as a 5:1 favorite. The bout would stream on DAZN.

Canelo cherry picking, hoping to beat up on an aging "shot" Kovalev. I hope this isnt going to be at catchweight and that they test the fuck out of Canelo leading into it. I cant see a Kovalev win given his weakness to the body, but Id love to see him ice Alvarez. Hes going to have keep him on the outside with those long snapping jabs and try and catch him with that legendary straight right down the pipe, as soon as Canelo gets inside for long stretches its going to be all over
