What’s Next for Jared Anderson in 2025?

Anderson suffered his first professional defeat in his career against Martin Bakole on August 3, 2024. It was a clear step up in quality for the American and since that defeat, Bob Arum has revealed Top Rank were against the fight: “We were against that fight. Again, when they wave money at these kids, they insist on taking it. We could have gone to court to prevent it, but we don’t do those kind ofthings. We let the fight go ahead. We made our money from the fight but we let that fight go ahead and it was the stupidest fight Jared could have taken,” said Arum.

He added:“What a night of fights we have in store for fans at the MSG Theater.”
