Former British boxing standout, George Groves, isn’t putting it past John Ryder to upset Saul “Canelo” Alvarez Saturday night in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The pair will compete for the undisputed super middleweight strap on DAZN pay-per-view, while also going head-to-head with UFC 288 during a blockbuster evening of sports.

“John Ryder’s been dealt a gift and I’m sure all the people around him will say the same,” Groves said. “He’s got the chance to take on a pound-for-pound king. He’s the biggest draw and the biggest name in the game. So Ryder’s got a chance to go over there to the Lion’s Den and shake up the world….stranger things have happened. John Ryder is not someone to overlook or underestimate and I think Canelo’s team will know that.”
Ryder is no stranger to big fights,
