The one time highly touted heavyweight Jared Anderson 18-1 (15 Knockouts) has signed a Co-promotional contract with Frank Warrens, Queensbury boxing in association with Bob Arums Top Rank Inc, with his future fights featuring on DAZN and largely on Queensbury’s Uk shows. Anderson gained momentum since turning pro in 2019, but ran into Martin Bakole in 2024, suffering his first and only loss. Since his return he has boxed only once, a unanimous points win over the underwhelming Marios Kollias over a year ago.
The 26 year old is due to return on British shores when he faces 10-1 Solomon Dacres on the Wardley v Dubois show on May 9th in Manchester. If Anderson is serious about returning to the top level of the division he needs to remain consistent, boxing with the frequency of his early career. Dacres is a credible opponent for his first appearance on Uk soil and a solid showing should make him popular with British fans opening the doors for potential future bouts with guys like David Adeleye, Frazer Clarke and Richard Riakporhe.
