Ryder Gets His Long Shot
Once upon a time, John Ryder’s boxing career had slowed down so much that he decided to work as a nightclub bouncer on the weekends to supplement his income. Further, Ryder, putting the final touches to his preparation for Canelo Alvarez, admits there was a time he nearly gave up hope of ever reaching the top. But now the 34-year-old knows he could etch his name into boxing folklore with an unlikely victory against Canelo in Guadalajara on May 6.
Late on, John Ryder was in Los Angeles for his last few days of training camp. Now, fight week kicks off for his challenge for all four of Canelo’s tiles. It has been a long and winding road for Ryder. Consider he has lost five times. Including one inside the distance throughout his 37-fight career. That is why he says all the pressure is on the champion this time.
Indeed, ‘The Gorilla’ will pocket a career-best payday for his part in the clash at the Estadio Akron. But there was a time when his earnings from boxing were so low that he sought further employment.
