Yarde has worn Arsenal attire all week in what could rile up any Spurs fans attending the event.
And now the two-time world title challenger teased going one further by walking out to Gunners’ theme tune North London Forever.
He told Sky Sports: “I might even come in to the theme song.”
Yarde was stunned to a points defeat to 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.”
