Jared Anderson (14-0, 14 KOs) calls himself the best heavyweight boxer after consecutive knockouts and gathers more and more viewers. In the end, his promoters decided it was time for the American in the first fight of the evening.
In the WBC and WBA rankings, Anderson is in eleventh place, and in the WBO - in ninth. He was supposed to be one of Tyson Fury's sparring partners before the second fight with Deontay Wilder, but proved to be better than the rest, and eventually became Fury's main partner. He was also invited to the WBC champion camp before his third fight with Wilder.
Last Saturday, Anderson defeated the previously undefeated George Arias (18-1, 7 KOs) in three rounds. And on July 1, Jared is going to perform in Toledo, his hometown, as part of the main fight of the evening on ESPN. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds, although at the moment it remains to be seen who will become the opponent of the 23-year-old prospect.
“This is a big challenge for me, but I am happy to fight in my city. I am ready for this, I am ready to compete with anyone, even the best. So whoever the promoters choose for me, I will fight, ”Anderson said.
