Zach Parker and John Ryder are set to meet in a highly anticipated bout this weekend as they both compete for their interim WBO title. In what is arguably one of their biggest fights to date, the winner of the contest will put themselves in serious contention to take on Canelo Alvarez next year.

While the slightly less experienced of the two, Parker is yet to taste defeat since making his professional boxing debut in 2015. The 28-year-old has 22 knockout victories to his name and has been the WBO international super-middleweight champion since claiming the title against Vaughn Alexander in March 2021.
