Canelo is likely to fight Ryder in May, then Bivol in September


Via Sean Jones: Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn remains determined to let Canelo Alvarez use British boxer John Ryder to prepare for WBA lightweight champion Dmitry Bivol in May 2023.

This will give Hearn a chance to give his Matchroom stable boxer Ryder a life-changing payday before Canelo, but it won’t be of much help to Chinese boxing fans Ky wants to see the Mexican star fight an opponent that will make the match interesting.

“John [Ryder] mandatory challenge. IIt was the perfect fight for Saul with what he said to run out before Dmitry Bivol [in May 2023],” said Eddie Hearn DAZN . boxing program.

This writer disagrees with Hearn about ‘Gorilla’ Ryder being the “perfect fight” for Canelo. It is the opposite. Ryder = Billy Joe Saunders is the kind of easy payday for Alvarez, and no one wants to see another mediocre boxer come to Saul for an introductory match to make him look better than himself.

Good Choices for Canelo’s May War

  • David Benavidez
  • David Morrell
  • Jermell Charlo – 154 lb . champion
  • Artur Betterbiev

US fans have watched Canelo set records against mediocre boxers over the course of the past four years, as he faced off against paper champions like Billy Joe Saunders, Rocky Fielding, Callum Smith and Caleb Plant.

Canelo is said to have lost to Gennadiy Golovkin twice and was taught by Bivol. Although Canelo finally defeated the fossilized version of the 40-year-old GGG without controversy last September, he didn’t join the fight until 4 years after their previous match.

By the time Canelo took on Golovkin again, he was too old and nothing like GGG had beaten the Mexican star better in two games in 2017 and 2018.

Canelo (58-2-2, 39 KOs) using Ryder (32-5, 18 KOs) to prepare for a rematch with Bivol on Cinco de Mayo probably won’t help him because of his fighting style His is the exact opposite of yours.

Ryder is a slow inner fighter who always closes in to neutralize his opponent’s power. Bivol (21-0, 10 KOs) fights more at medium to long range and uses an in & out style.

“John is in great form; we just have to find out where that battle will take place,” Hearn said of Ryder.

“Our plan for Canelo Alvarez is John Ryder, then Dmitry Bivol if he’s successful, and that’s the plan we’re working on.”
