Unbeaten American heavyweight hoping for Tyson Fury fight
Watch Crawford vs. Madrimov live August 3 on DAZN
Jared Anderson is ready to take on former sparring partner Tyson Fury.
Fury’s next fight is against Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, having fought already in May.
The Ukrainian became the first-ever undisputed champion of the four-belt era with a split decision going his way in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Anderson’s next match-up is against Martin Bakole, live in Los Angeles tonight, shown on DAZN.
Speaking to BoxingScene, Anderson said he would be ready to move on after the fight to spar with Fury ahead of his rematch, but said he would also like a shot at the Briton down the line.
“I would be there on the first call [if Fury wanted me as a sparring partner],” he said. “He could definitely be a future opponent – but for the right price. He's still a friend and kind of a big brother.
“I respect him, I love what he's doing, and he definitely puts his people on, in positions. I love that about him. And I would help him out any way that I could.”
Looking at Martin Bakole, he said: “He says he's going to knock me out and I can't wait to watch him try to prove it.
“My hand will be raised by the end of the night.”
