Daniel Jacobs vs John Ryder: What time is fight, undercard, prediction, ring walks and latest betting odds
London will host its first major fight of the year on Saturday night when Daniel Jacobs goes toe-to-toe with John Ryder.
The Alexandra Palace welcomes two truly exciting super-middleweight fighters as Jacobs takes on hometown hero Ryder just a few miles north of his birthplace in Islington.
The winner looks set to be catapulted into a title-contending position within the WBA, which could well provide a much-needed shot in the arm for both men after a relatively slow time of things of late.
Jacobs could return to the big fight scene with a victory having not fought since his fairly dubious win over Gabriel Rosado in November 2020, while Ryder is offered the chance to make a statement on home soil.
