“Big Baby” is ready for a bounce-back bout.

Jared Anderson (17-1, 15 KOs) will return to action six months since Martin Bakole snapped his perfect run when facing Marios Kollias on February 14 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, an official informed of the deal told Ring Magazine Monday.

The heavyweight fight will take place on the undercard of Top Rank's ESPN tripleheader headlined by Keyshawn Davis' first world title shot against WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk.

Anderson has headlined three shows for Top Rank over the last two years, but his tune-up tilt against Kollias will stream on ESPN+.

Kollias (12-3-1, 10 KOs), a 33-year-old from Greece, marks a serious step down in competition for the still-developing 25-year-old from Toledo, Ohio.

Anderson was adamant he was ready to battle a proven contender like Bakole on Riyadh Season's North American debut show last summer much to the chagrin of promoter Top Rank.

Bakole proved to be too much, battering the outmatched American contender with three knockdowns and stopping him standing in the fifth round. The win catapulted the Congolese contender to the No. 6 spot in Ring Magazine’s heavyweight rankings.

At one point last year, Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, had big plans for Anderson.

Anderson was trending toward facing former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, but the fight was swiftly shelved once Wilder suffered a fifth-round knockout by Zhilei Zhang in June.

BoxingScene’s Lance Pugmire first reported that Anderson and Kollias agreed to contractual terms.
