The Mexican superstar will emotionally return to his country for his most recent Cinco de Mayo fight. It has been 4180 days since his previous fight in Mexico when he defeated Kermit Cintron in Mexico City to retain his WBO World Light-Middleweight title.
The four-weight World Champion, 32, competes for the 63rd time in his illustrious career as he approaches 18 years as a professional. He will battle for the 35th time in his country over the weekend of Cinco de Mayo. It promises to be a magnificent spectacle as the state of Jalisco celebrates 200 years of independence.
About Canelo Alvarez’s next opponent
As famous Londoner Ryder (32-5, 18 KOs) returns to Mexico for the biggest fight of his 12-year career, the WBO mandatory challenger will attempt to ruin the fun. After Zach Parker withdrew from their contest in London, England, in November after four rounds, “The Gorilla” won the WBO interim title.
The 34-year-old had previously defeated Daniel Jacobs, a former Middleweight champion and Canelo foe. Ryder had also faced three other Britons who had fought the Mexican king. After victories over Billy Joe Saunders and Rocky Fielding, he challenged Callum Smith for the Super-Middleweight World title.
