John Ryder has suggested he may retire from boxing if he loses his undisputed title challenge against Canelo Alvarez.
'The Gorilla' will face the most formidable test of his boxing career when he steps in the ring with undisputed champion Alvarez in Mexico on May 6. Ryder has recorded significant wins against Daniel Jacobs and domestic rival Zach Parker to finally earn his title shot having been forced to go the hard way to earn his huge opportunity.
Alvarez recently outboxed Gennady Golovki n in a trilogy fight to get back on track after a loss to Dmitry Bivol when stepping up to 175lb. Ryder has previously suggested he could be coming to the twilight stages of his career, and a sixth defeat in the professional ranks could see a curtain brought down on his boxing stint.
