Meet Heavyweight, Jared Anderson.

                                

Toledo Heavyweight prospect Jared Anderson has jumped onto the scene with a bang over the last 18 months, the former two time US National super heavyweight champion has racked up 9 victories, all by knockout. Jared turned over in the October of 2019 scoring a 1st round knockout in Reno over one Daniel Infante and by following July had racked up 5 straight consecutive knockout victories yet had barely boxed a total of 7 rounds. Whilst getting ready for his third pro fight, Jared was hired as chief sparring partner for Tyson Fury in preparation for the Deontay Wilder rematch in Las Vegas, Anderson made such an impression on the Champion and his father John that the latter was quoted as saying, Jared would be the next great American heavyweight champion. The colourful heavyweight continued his knockout streak with a 4th round knockout of Rodney Hernandez on the Jamel Herring v Jonathan Oquendo undercard at the MGM bubble in Las Vegas. Jared would return to the bubble 6 weeks later, appearing on the Inoue v Maloney card and taking out the overmatched Luis Eduardo Pena in a round and again last February on the Commey v Marinez show when Anderson made a bold statement by scoring a striking final round knockout over once beaten Nigerian Kingsley Ibeh. Most recently Jared featured on the Joe Smith Jr v Maxim Vlasov show in Oklahoma where he appeared alongside fellow heavyweight prospects Efe Ajagba and Trey Lippe to score another stoppage, this time over the tough experienced Jeremiah Karpency in 2.  Jared is a tall agile boxer puncher who despite his brief time in the professional ranks appears relaxed and composed in the ring and showed in the Ibeh fight that he wasn’t over anxious to keep his knockout streak alive, despite finding the knockout late in the 6th, he used the rounds to gain valuable ring time against a live opponent. Jared has all of the apparent tools at this point in his career to move steadily and open doors for himself, Top Rank have exclusive promotional rights over Anderson and I expect them to slide him into some interesting matchups within the next year. Don’t expect opponents to be clambering over themselves to meet this feller, on paper he’s a novice pro, but big noise travels fast and all concerned fully understand that Jared Anderson is a bit special.
