Copper Box Arena, London - In a WBA final super middleweight eliminator, John Ryder (27-4, 15 KOs) knocked out previously undefeated Andrey Sirotkin (15-1, 4 KOs) in the seventh round. Sirotkin was in action back in March, when he won a twelve round decision over Ryan Fory, and last November he stopped former world champion Ricardo Mayorga in nine rounds.
The talents of Jordan Gill have caused Dave Coldwell to be rather vocal for quite a sustained period now. The Cambridgeshire featherweight, unbeaten in 21 starts, has a grand opportunity to fulfil the boasts made by his trainer as he tackles Manchester’s Ryan Doyle for the Commonwealth belt on Saturday night.
Zuhayr Al-Qahtani is preparing to fight in his native Saudi Arabia for the first time on the undercard of George Groves vs. Callum Smith and believes this is just the first of many big nights there.
John Ryder faces Andrey Sirotkin in a Final Eliminator for the WBA Super-Middleweight World title at the Copper Box Arena in London on October 27, live on Sky Sports and DAZN in the US. Islington’s Ryder is back in action following his stunning two-round destruction of Jamie Cox on the Bellew vs. Haye 2 undercard at The O2 in May.
They both put in disappointing performances against British starlet Lawrence Okolie, now Isaac Chamberlain (9-1, 4 KOs) and Luke ‘The Duke’ Watkins look set to square off against one another in a crunch cruiserweight contest next month. Chamberlain and Watkins are being lined up to fight for the vacant Commonwealth cruiserweight title, recently dropped by Okolie, on October 27 at the Copper Box, London on a Matchroom Boxing promotion filled with intriguing domestic dust-ups.
Ted Cheeseman and Asinia Byfield finally have a date for their fight. The super-welterweight duo had been set to fight in London on October 20. The vacant British title will be at stake when the pair meet –– but it will be later than planned.
