Ahead of his first world title opportunity, Joet Gonzalez (23-0, 14 KOs) has re-signed with Golden Boy. Gonzalez will take on Shakur Stevenson (12-0, 7 KOs) for the vacant WBO featherweight on ESPN+.
Team USA’s top-ranked heavyweight Jared “Big Baby” Anderson signed a multi-year professional contract Tuesday afternoon with Top Rank. He will make his professional debut October 26 on the Shakur Stevenson-Joet Gonzalez undercard in Reno, Nevada. Managed by James Prince and co-promoted by Antonio Leonard, the 19-year-old Anderson decided to turn pro rather than pursue a spot on the 2020 Olympic team.
Good move on the part of Jared “Big Baby” Anderson who wouldn’t have won a medal on the Olympics team anyways, but as a pro he should be a decent cruiserweight.
Yeah, now he will become a millionare and legend…instead of having a once in a lifetime experience
Not having seen Joet Gonzalez, will this be too soon for shakur?
