מעיינות קולורדו, קולורדו (דצמבר 21, 2017) – Christmas came early for Jared Anderson, who not only won the heavyweight title at the recent USA Boxing National Championships, the 18-year-old also captured the Most Outstanding Boxer Award in the Elite Division.
Seeded No. 7 in an eight-boxer field at The Nationals, אנדרסון, בסדר, defeated No. 2 Jesus Flores בסיבוב הפתיחה, 5-0, edged No. 3 Adrian Tillman בחצי הגמר, 3-2, and upset five-time national champion Cam F. מדהים, 5-0, בגמר האליפות.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (נובמבר. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 ו 2, בהתאמה, Flores is No. 5, and Anderson is unranked.
“I think that’s going to change,” Anderson noted. “Winning the heavyweight title and Most Outstanding Boxing Award meant the world to me. Maybe some people had never heard of me, but I’ve been boxing since I was eight, and I’ve faced a lot of different styles.
“I had a vendetta going with Tillman and, instead of boxing, I tried to take his head off. Simple work allowed me to beat Awesome. הוא לוחם טוב. Cam does what he wants in the ring — throws jabs, sits there and builds up points – and intimidates some opponents. I took the fight to him. Not wild, למרות ש, because he’d have been there in the ring, calm and smiling, and I would have lost. I used my jab more than anything against him.”
One of 11 siblings in two households, Anderson is another USA Boxing success story. Growing up in Toledo, אוהיו, Anderson was constantly getting into trouble in school and boxing eventually saved him. His mother convinced her son to meet a local boxing coach, who introduced Jared to boxing, drilling discipline into him, something Jared desperately needed at that point in his young life.
Boxing in Toledo has also aided his overall development in boxing. “We push each other,” אנדרסון הסביר. “We support each other and perfect our crafts. There’s a lot of support here at all the gyms in Toledo.”
Anderson represented Team USA at this past August’s 2017 Bradenburg Cup in Frankfurt, גרמניה, at which Anderson won the heavyweight title, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer Award, which should have been a warning for other leading U.S. במשקל כבד.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. שוגר ריי לאונרד – “ידיים מהירה, מהירות, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. איוונדר הוליפילד – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.מוחמד עלי — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.”
עכשיו, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 קילו., but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. סופו של דבר, he wants to be heavyweight champion of the world, but Jared does have a plan.
“I want to stay as active as possible next year, competing in tournaments, and turn pro but not until after the (2020) אולימפיאדה,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) אולימפיאדה. I want to win a gold medal, turn pro and win the world heavyweight title, so I can move my mother out of the ‘hood.”
Remember the name, boxing fans, Jared Anderson has the potential to be America’s next great heavyweight.
