Bob Arum Reveals When to Expect Jared Anderson’s Return

Top Rank founder and CEO Bob Arum shared when to expect American prospect Jared Anderson (17-1, 15 KOs) back in the ring.

Right now, our matchmakers and his manager are getting to work. We’re all sitting down and discussing it. Jared won’t return to the ring before next year. We’re trying to figure everything out, but I can’t give an exact date at this moment.

I’ve had setbacks with many well-known fighters who eventually became superstars in their divisions. When they lost focus, they suffered losses. Sometimes, we found a way to bring them back to the top, and sometimes we didn’t. Right now, I don’t have much else to add. At the very least, he’s a good young man and a talented athlete,” Arum said.

In August, Jared Anderson suffered the first loss of his career, a fifth-round knockout by Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs), which also knocked him out of the top 10 rankings in all major boxing organizations.
