John Ryder, a British boxer with a record of 32-5-1, is set to face Canelo Alvarez, the king of contemporary boxing, in his home country of Mexico this weekend. The 12-round fight for the undisputed super middleweight championship will take place at Zapopan’s Estadio Akron, outside of Guadalajara, and will be the main event of a DAZN pay-per-view card. Despite recent Canelo opponents being viewed as more of a challenge, Ryder, also known as “The Gorilla,” is determined to shock the world.
Ryder acknowledges the challenge of fighting on Canelo’s home turf but believes that fighting a champion requires going to their backyard to take their titles. He believes that fighting in Mexico may work against Canelo, as the pressure will be on him, and people do not expect much from Ryder. Ryder also points out that Canelo has faced some tough opponents, including Golovkin, Bivol, Cotto, Kovalev, and Mayweather, and may have some wear and tear.
Despite this, Ryder wants to face a Canelo in prime form and believes that he will give the best version of himself. He is supremely confident heading into the fight and plans to embrace the moment. Ryder believes that after 12 rounds, his hand will be raised, and he will be the new undisputed world super middleweight champion from Islington, London, UK. This is a dream opportunity for Ryder, and he does not plan to waste it.
