Anderson – Merhy in April

Jared Anderson (16-0, 15KOs) has found his next opponent.

The emerging American heavyweight will face Belgium’s Ryad Merhy (32-2, 26KOs) on April 13 in Texas, according to some reports in US media.

Merhy, a former cruiserweight world title challenger, is smaller than Anderson but last time he showed against Tony Yoka that he can bridge a height difference of even 20 centimeters.
