# 23-Year-Old Heavyweight Who Tyson Fury Calls “The Future Ruler” Says He’s “Burned Out”

Tyson Fury recently labeled one heavyweight prospect as the ‘heir to his throne’ – but the man himself claims he’s already ‘burned out’ from the sport.

The current WBC champion was praising American knockout artist, Jared Anderson, having previously drafted in the heavyweight as a sparring partner.

[Speaking at a media scrum ahead of his fight against Francis Ngannou, Fury said the 23-year-old is a future champion](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/tyson-fury-on-next-heavyweight-champ/).

> “Jared’s the man. This is the future champ right here. I said it three years ago, I stand by my words, this is the heir to the throne guys – you better believe it.”

Anderson, who boasts a 100% record from his first 16 fights with 15 coming inside the distance, told [Fight Hub TV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAIOtc30AhM) that he doesn’t envisage being in the sport too much longer and is already ‘burned out’.

> “I’ve been doing this since I was eight-years-old, I’m burned out.
>
> If you don’t use it, you lose it. I’ve took a break from things before and coming back is never the same. I know that if I take too long of a time off, and I’ve noticed that also in my career so far, the times that I did take longer off, when I come back I am not the same.
>
> Now, I just stay in the gym. If I stay in the gym for two or three more years by the time that I want retire I will be perfectly fine with it.”

The highly rated power puncher has more pressing issues on his hands at the moment, having been arrested earlier this month. [ESPN](https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/38833852/heavyweight-contender-jared-anderson-arrested-ohio) reported that ‘Big Baby’ was taken into custody on two charges, ‘improperly handling firearms in a vehicle whilst knowingly under the influence and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs’.

He reportedly spent eight hours in jail before being released. Anderson has yet to publicity comment on the incident.
