Jared Anderson moves to UK under Frank Warren for next fight

The move comes more than a year after Anderson’s stoppage loss to Martin Bakole on August 3, 2024, where he was beaten in his first clear step-up at the heavyweight level. Jared returned in February 2025 with a 10-round decision win over Marios Kollias, but he has not fought since.

Queensberry’s heavyweight roster and regular UK shows offer a different route. Warren described the platform as one that keeps fighters active and positioned for major fights, while also noting the continued cooperation with Top Rank.

Anderson built his early record with quick stoppages after turning pro in 2019 and collected secondary belts across 2021 to 2023, including wins over Oleksandr Teslenko, Jerry Forrest, and Charles Martin. The Bakole fight marked his first defeat.

The 26-year-old Anderson’s next appearance will take place in Britain, with opponents and date still to be announced. The rebuild is no longer happening at home. What’s unclear is the type of opposition Queensberry plans on matching Jared against, as he’s already shown vulnerability when facing aggressive heavyweights with power.

Besides the problems he had against Bakole, Anderson was staggered late in his fight against Charles Martin in July 2023. He’s shown that he’s capable of beating lesser heavyweights, but it would be risky for Queensberry to match him against some of the hard-hitting British heavyweights, like Daniel Dubois or Adam Olaniyan. With the right maneuvering, Anderson has a shot at being a top contender.
