Eddie Hearn teases Canelo Alvarez fight with John Ryder at Premier League stadium in May 2023
After his latest victory, promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that he had already been in contact with Canelo’s manager to set up a clash between the Mexican and Ryder.
“I am so pleased for John Ryder. Since he beat Daniel Jacobs, we’ve been looking for this big fight,” Hearn told Matchroom Boxing. “We didn’t expect it to be Zach Parker. He came through and was just too much for Parker, who I think had an injured hand. But he was getting to him and I think he would have stopped him anyway.“I’ve already texted [Canelo’s trainer and manager] Eddy Reynoso to say ‘John Ryder is mandatory, let’s go in May at the Emirates’.
“It would be a dream for Ryder, he deserves it. He is a very good fighter and he’s the mandatory challenger for Canelo Alvarez. “This could be our chance to bring Canelo to the UK, it would be unbelievable. We’ll see if we can get it over the line.”Advertisement
