Jared Anderson's Professional Boxing Journey
Jared Anderson started his professional boxing career with a bang! He signed a contract with Top Rank, a big boxing company, on September 24, 2019. Just one month later, on October 26, he had his first professional fight. He won by a knockout (KO) in the very first round against Daniel Infante in Reno, Nevada.
Early Wins and Knockouts
Jared quickly showed his strength in the ring. His third professional fight was against Andrew Satterfield, and Jared won by a technical knockout (TKO) in the first round. A TKO happens when the referee stops the fight because one boxer can't safely continue.
On June 9, 2020, Jared fought Johnnie Langston. This was the first time Jared fought past the first round, winning by TKO in the third round. He continued his winning streak on July 16, 2020, stopping Hector Perez in the first round.

Jared's record improved to 10 wins and 0 losses when he faced Vladimir Tereshkin on October 9, 2021. Tereshkin had never lost a fight before, but Jared won by TKO in the second round. This big win happened on the same night as a famous fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
