The boxing scene is set to witness an electrifying heavyweight clash as the rising star Jared Anderson takes on the seasoned “Bronze Bomber” Deontay Wilder on August 3rd at the Riyadh Season card in Los Angeles. This much-anticipated bout places the young and undefeated Anderson (17-0, 16 KOs) against Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs), a formidable opponent with a reputation for his powerful knockouts. Wilder, a veteran of the sport from Alabama, is slated to fight China’s Zhilei Zhang on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following a tough decision loss to Joseph Parker last December. Anderson, on the other hand, has recently bounced back with a decisive victory over Ryad Merhy, marking his continued dominance and securing his position as one of America’s top heavyweight prospects.
