Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jared Anderson will take on German veteran Christian Hammer on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte's world heavyweight Championship fight at Wembley on April 23. Hammer, (26-9) is a well known name for UK fight fans having recently fought Hughie Fury in Newcastle back in October 2021, retiring in the fifth round.
He was also the last man Fury fought on the way to his first heavyweight title win over Vladimir Klitschko in 2015, losing to the future world champion after retiring in the eighth round. He will face American heavyweight prospect Jared Anderson, who has won all eleven of his bouts and fights in the UK for the first time here and previously fought on the undercard of Fury vs Deontay Wilder.

Although, the fight may play into the hands of Anderson, facing up against the German who has lost four of his last six fights with any defeat here likely to be the last on the big stage for a good servant to European boxing.
