Boxing’s Biggest Star Returns Home, Canelo vs Ryder Live On DAZN
Boxing’s bona fide superstar Canelo Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) defends his Undisputed Super-Middleweight title against his WBO mandatory challenger, Britain’s John Ryder (32-5, 18 KOs) at the 50,000-capacity Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico this Saturday, May 6, live on DAZN PPV in the US and Canada and as part of the DAZN subscription in 190 territories including the United Kingdom.

Ryder, a 34-year-old from Islington, London, had the best year of his career in 2022 when he decisioned former world champion Daniel Jacobs in February, a career-best win, and then claimed an inside-the-distance victory over world #1, Zach Parker at the O2 in November.
A fight with Canelo should’ve come years earlier when the 12-year veteran was unlucky to not get a win over Callum Smith for the world super middleweight title in 2019. The majority had him winning the contest. Smith went on to fight Canelo just twelve months after, an opportunity Ryder will feel could’ve been his.
Canelo, a free agent on paper, has had five of his last six bouts under Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing so it comes as no surprise that he will fight under the banner once again.
The Mexican is looking for revenge against WBA Light Heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol who upset him last May, one of just two career defeats alongside a lopsided points decision to Floyd Mayweather a decade ago.
Should he get past Ryder, Canelo Bivol 2 is expected to materialise for September although the location, weight and other factors are very much in the air as of now.
