Jared Anderson vs Charles Martin LIVE: UK start time, undercard and how to follow as former heavyweight champion faces rising star
Former heavyweight champion Charles Martin has stepped in to fight one of boxing’s most impressive prospects Jared Anderson this evening.
Anderson was originally scheduled to face Kazakhstan’s Zhan Kossobutskiy but he was forced to pull out due to an issue with his visa.
So the 23-year-old will now face Martin as he aims to continue his perfect professional record of 14 knockouts in 14 fights.
However, 'The Real Big Baby' faces the toughest challenge of his career against the former heavyweight champion who famously took on Anthony Joshua in AJ’s first world title fight.
