John Ryder challenges for Canelo Alvarez’s titles
Canelo, 32, said: “I feel really happy to be coming back in May because following my surgery, I was unsure of when I’d be coming back.
“Returning to the ring and coming back to fight in Jalisco, where I’m from, makes me especially happy.
“And in John Ryder, I’m facing a very competitive fighter.”
Canelo lost to Dmitry Bivol, 32, when he challenged for the WBA light-heavyweight title last May.
But he returned to 168lb in September to beat ageing rival Gennady Golovkin, 40, in their trilogy bout.
Hand surgery then followed for the four-division champion, who wants to rematch Bivol in September following his return bout.
Ryder, 34, meanwhile earned his shot at Canelo after winning the WBO interim belt against Zach Parker, 28, in November.
He said: “There’s no denying that Canelo is one of the greats and I’ve got a lot of respect for what he’s achieved in the sport but I fully believe this is my time fulfil my dream of becoming a world champion.
