Anderson has been recovering in recent months from a biceps injury sustained in April that scrapped his scheduled fight for May 10 against Solomon Dacres.

Anderson was set to be featured on a Queensberry card after signing a co-promotional deal with Frank Warren, but the goal now is to move forward with the plan before the end of the calendar year.

"I've been rehabbing in recent months at the University of Toledo in Ohio, and I feel that I'm back to being a hundred percent," Anderson told The Ring.

"Mentally, I'm doing really well. I'm in a way better place. Physically, I'm doing great. I'm stronger. We are just working out some kinks to get the next fight lined up. I'm working as hard as ever to get the work done. I am ready to fight right now, but we will get things worked out."

With Dacres moving on to a fight against Bakhodir Jalolov on October 17, Anderson needs a new dance partner.

"I should be in the ring later on this year, regardless of who I'm fighting against," Anderson said.

"I would like to fight someone like David Adeleye or Dave Allen. I'm ready to fight anyone that is going to be a stepping stone for me to get to the next big one."

Anderson has fought only once since suffering the lone loss of his career against Martin Bakole by fifth-round stoppage in August 2024. Anderson last graced the ring in February 2025 and scored a 10-round unanimous decision win against Marios Kollias in New York.

Anderson, 26, also addressed previous comments he made three years ago that he planned to retire by 27.

"The objective is to keep my faculties and my health intact and to get out of the game quicker than most," Anderson said. "I'm not going to put a date on it anymore, but I'm not trying to be here for another 15 years either. I'm always ready to fight and want to make the best fights against the biggest fighters."
