Jared Anderson: record, next fight and profile →
Ryad Mehry is looking to make his United States debut in grand fashion Saturday night by playing spoiler when he challenges heavyweight contender Jared Anderson.
Jared Anderson hopes to use Saturday’s fight with Ryad Merhy as a springboard towards a lucrative future date in Saudi Arabia. The undisputed heavyweight title fight on May 18 in Riyadh, between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, is just the latest demonstration of the extent to which Saudi Arabia’s wealth has allowed them to almost buy the heavyweight division.
Unbeaten heavyweight Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson (16-0, 15 KOs) will fight Ryad Merhy (32-2, 26 KOs) this Saturday, April 13, in the ten-round main event at American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.

It is at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas that the heavyweight – considered so promising he is already being spoken of as capable of succeeding Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk at the top of their division – fights for the 17th time as a professional, and where he will be attempting to make a statement ahead of a potential step up in class.
Ryad Merhy is determined to prove that he is not just making up the numbers when he travels to Texas to face the highly regarded Jared Anderson.
Promoter Bob Arum says big plans are afoot for heavyweight Jared Anderson, who is set to return for another showcase fight Saturday against Ryad Merhy at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
