The heavyweight division is alive and well at the moment and it seems the future of the weight class is in good hands, too.
Jared 'Big Baby' Anderson is arguably the most exciting young fighter in boxing's glamour division, with a perfect record so far of 12 fights, 12 wins and 12 knockouts in a burgeoning career.
The 22-year-old is yet to have an opponent last more than six rounds against him, with nine of his 12 knockouts coming inside the first two rounds.
Anderson began boxing as an eight-year-old because he was acting out at school and fighting, but it was not until he understood the financial and other benefits to boxing that he began to dedicate himself to the sport.
By the age of 15, Anderson realised he was a talented fighter and that boxing would be a viable career option.
Since then he has gone on to take the heavyweight division by storm, even drawing comparisons to 'The Greatest' Muhammad Ali by his promoter, Bob Arum, although Anderson himself would rather not be compared to anyone.
"I'm not a fan of it to be honest," Anderson told talkSPORT. "I want to be me.
"I respect him and I'm happy that people are comparing me to him, but I just want to be me and be the best me I can be."

Since gaining recognition in the boxing world, Anderson was asked to join Tyson Fury in camp as a sparring partner and the American learned a lot working with 'The Gypsy King'.
"He was a great dude, a great guy." Anderson said about Fury.
"I respect him a lot for having me out and I would love to be in camp with him again."
Anderson beat Miljan Rovcanin on the undercard of Jose Pedraza vs Richard Commey on Saturday night, knocking him out inside two rounds where he also highlighted his jailed brother on the ring walk.
He now has a number of fighters in his sights including Filip Hrgovic, Carlos Takam, Arslanbek Makhmudov and he even mentioned a fellow exciting youngster in Britain's Daniel Dubois.
But further than that, Anderson's aim is to win a world title and he believes he will be ready in the next year.
Anthony Joshua became a world champion after just 16 fights and Anderson believes he can equal that if not better it.
"Without a doubt." Anderson said.
"I would love the opportunity, but I don't see that right now unless they start retiring, but I would hope so."
