Jared ‘Big Baby’ Anderson looks a very exciting prospect<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With 12 knockouts on 12 fights, American heavyweight Jared Anderson is being tipped for the very top.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Meanwhile, having to cut weight for his grudge match with Conor Benn didn’t stop Chris Eubank Jr enjoying a bucket of fried chicken at the O2 Arena on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here are just a few talking points from the world of boxing this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jared Anderson is ready to be let loose on the heavyweight division<\/h3>\n

American Jared ‘Big Baby’ Anderson looks pretty advanced for his 22 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday, the starlet continued his perfect professional record with a second-round knockout of Miljan Rovcanin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some reckon he’s ready for the big time in boxing’s glamour division.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there too much hype around Anderson or not enough?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anderson has <\/span>said<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a> himself that he would like to match, or better, Anthony Joshua’s feat of a world title within 16 fights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eubank Jr is winging it <\/h3>\n

Chris Eubank Jr, 32, seems to be taking a laid-back approach to camp before his grudge match with Conor Benn, 25.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirty years after their fathers engaged in a brutal rivalry, Eubank Jr and Benn will fight in London on 8 October.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eubank Jr has a fair bit of weight to shed before then. He usually operates at both middleweight (160lbs) and super-middleweight (168lbs). Meanwhile, Benn boxes at welterweight (147lbs) and, for this fight, both fighters will meet at a catchweight of 156 pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly, the heavier man doesn’t deem it necessary to give up his cheat days – at least not yet anyway. He arrived with a bucket full of fried chicken on Saturday to watch his friend KSI beat Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda in London.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eubank Jr has told press he will only need to be at 60% to “destroy” Benn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, his trolling has brought to mind some similar antics – for instance, when David Haye posted a picture of himself sipping a cocktail on an expensive yacht, before his first fight with Tony Bellew. Haye, though, went on to lose.<\/span><\/p>\n

Could Eubank Jr’s diet plan backfire?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Game respects game<\/h3>\n

This photo is packed with too much greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Claressa Shields, 27, is the current WBC, IBF, WBA and Ring magazine middleweight champion and will fight 31-year-old WBO middleweight champion Savannah Marshall at London’s O2 Arena on 10 September for the chance to take the undisputed crown.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has been training with Franchon Crews-Dezurn, 35, the current undisputed super middleweight world champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s some sparring partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

An American in London<\/h3>\n

American fighter Mikaela Mayer has arrived in London for her super-featherweight unification bout with Alycia Baumgardner on 10 September.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 31-year-old seems to have gone native since landing in the English capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be careful out there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilder is back<\/h3>\n

And, finally, we’ve been given a look at Wilder’s training camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bronze Bomber, 36, will fight Robert Helenius, 38, on 15 October. <\/span><\/p>\n

That fight will be the Wilder’s first time back in the ring since he lost his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury last October.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
