Jared Anderson addresses rumors of knocking out Tyson Fury in sparring; predicts Fury vs. Wilder 3
Jared Anderson will be making his pay-per-view debut on October 9, when he faces Vladimir Tereshkin on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Anderson addressed rumors of knocking Fury out during a recent sparring session.
According to Anderson, he has never knocked Fury out during their sparring sessions. He further stated that he loved working with Tyson Fury in the training camp and is thankful for getting the opportunity to do so:
"Never happened. None of that. I ain’t wanna speak out on it before, make anything, you know, worse than what it was. I know how fans get real reckless online, so I left it alone. But just to clear up anything, no, it was no knockout, no, it was no knockdown in camp. Love the work, love to perform with him. So, I’m thankful for that,” Anderson said.
The rising star also said that he'll be rooting for Fury to win the trilogy fight since he's helped 'The Gypsy King' prepare for the matchup. Anderson believes Fury will win the trilogy fight via stoppage in the seventh round.
The fight that started the trilogy. The knockdown that had everyone thinking, HOW DID HE GET BACK UP?! The final decision. 💥💣👑
