John Ryder (born 19 July 1988) is a British professional boxer who has twice challenged for the British middleweight title and once for the Commonwealth middleweight title.[1]

Amateur career

As an amateur, Ryder fought for Angel Amateur Boxing Club in his birthplace of Islington, winning 30 fights out of 35.[2]

Professional career

Ryder turned professional on 10 September 2010, scoring a first-round stoppage against Ben Deghani.[1] Having won his first fifteen fights, Ryder faced fellow undefeated prospect Billy Joe Saunders for his British and Commonwealth middleweight titles on 21 September 2013, losing a close unanimous decision with scores of 115–113, 115–113 and 115–114 for Saunders.[3] Ryder won his first regional championship—the vacant WBO Inter-Continental middleweight title—on 11 October 2014, stopping Theophilus Tetteh in five rounds.[4] He defended this title once, against Billi Facundo Godoy with a tenth-round stoppage.[5]

After Saunders vacated the British middleweight title, a bout was held between top contenders Ryder and Nick Blackwell on 30 May 2015. Ryder lost his second attempt at the title after being stopped by Blackwell in seven rounds.[6] Ryder bounced back on 30 January 2016, winning his second regional championship—the vacant WBA International middleweight title—with a unanimous decision over Sergey Khomitsky.[7]
