It will be his first bout since beating Gennady Golovkin by unanimous decision last September, in the final fight of a thrilling trilogy.
32-year-old Canelo had surgery on his left hand late last year, but a speedy recovery means he is ready to take on his next title defence as he looks to avenge his shock loss to Dmitry Bivol at light heavyweight.
John Ryder, a southpaw, will be challenging for Canelo’s WBC, WBA, WBO & IBF titles and will be a considerable underdog.
The 34-year-old hasn’t fought for a world title since his controversial loss to Callum Smith in 2019. However, he’s coming into the bout with a four-fight unbeaten run after stopping the previously unbeaten Zach Parker last year.
