Jared Anderson hasn’t quite found the balance yet.
Anderson , who returns to the ring on Saturday on the stacked Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov card against Martin Bakole at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, has had a turbulent year outside the ring.
“That’s something I’m still learning to take on,” Anderson told The Post. “I’m not here to be nobody’s role model. I’m here to do a job and do that well. Unfortunately, villains get paid just as well as superheroes do in this sport. Whichever role I have to take on, I will. I would hope to think I’m one of the superheroes. But it gets turned in the other direction because people choose to make their own assumptions about me. It is what it is.
“Learning, I’ve felt as though just to be more mature in certain situations, I guess,” Anderson said. “But for the most part, I’m the same person, through and through. I’ve always been a good kid. I make mistakes just like everybody else, but I think I’ve proven myself enough — even through tragedies or mistakes, I own up to them and move forward.” Anderson, who just days before Saturday’s bout welcomed his first child, a daughter, into the world, fights for himself, and his family.
