Looks like this fight is set or will be set soon for the World WBA title. Who you guys got in this matchup? Many felt Ryder won or deserved at least a draw against Callum Smith late in 2019 and he's been peaking since his loss to Fielding back in 2017. Pretty huge step up for Morrell who has not faced anyone of world class status since turning pro.
Intriguing fight for sure. Ryder may be able to expose the flaws of Morrell or the youngster takes his game to another level and shows his class against the vet.
Yeah it’s BS, makes absolutely no sense! I was really interested in Morell vs Ryder too. Ramirez is a far better opponent for Bivol too.
I was looking forward to this Morell vs ryder fight. The kid is on the fast track and ryder is no slouch. Let's see what happens now. Be safe.
What a ****ing turd. A 168 lbs with no business at 175, fighting for a belt that he's not ranked. They should not sanction this fight.

Eddie Hearn ruined it, along with Bivol vs Ramirez too.
Instead we’re getting Bivol vs Ryder, which makes little to no sense, purely because Hearn can’t put his ego aside and work with other promoters.

Hearn said April/May in the UK, hes been talking about a "monster PPV" for April 24th
Warrington vs Xu
Taylor vs Jonas
Ryder vs Morrell
Buatsi vs Caparello
Hrgovic vs Bakole
Rumoured fights. We'll see.
The only fight he actually delivered was Taylor vs Jonas. :lol1:
Literally sums up Eddie in a nutshell.

Have you never heard Hearn speak before? Lol
Theres also the possibility Canelo may want it on his card. If Ryder wins hed be a good Dec/Jan/Feb in Mexico kind of opponent.
I like that, put it on the Canelo/BJS undercard. Maybe on Chisora/Parker UC if that fight takes place?
Is that a monster PPV though? What am I missing here?

I mean I just read that Hearn said he was in negotiations with the PBC and figured it would be a UK fight. Not like Morrell has any fanbase of any sort. But sure, I guess it can be a USA fight.
If Morrell is cheap enough they’ll possibly have it over here. I just think PBC view Morrell as a far bigger asset than Matchroom view Ryder.
I hope it is in the UK though.

“Monster PPV” he loves that line. :lol1:
Bump.
This likely will take place in the UK, so what upcoming card can it be placed under?

Will it? I thought this would be a US based fight.
Ryder is a bit of free lancer, he’s always remained loosely affiliated to Matchroom but he’s boxed on Warren cards, Poxon cards, Sauerland cards etc.
I think this winds up on a PBC card. I doubt Matchroom will bid aggressively to stage this fight.
I’ll be rooting for Ryder but Morrell is the truth IMO so I think he’s up against it. Morrell by decision is my prediction.
