Boasting off 2 KOs and 6 TKOs in 8 fights, Jared Anderson has a KO ratio of 100% and is also one of the most active fighters at this stage. He made his professional debut in 2019 and ended the year with 2 wins.
In 2020, while most of the boxing community took a back step due to COVID-19, Anderson remained active and won five fights. Moreover, the 21-year-old has already begun 2021 with another sensational TKO. So, Bob Arum’s recent statement might be valid, at least for now.
