It’s been anything but a straight road to world title contention for Islington southpaw John Ryder, but his patience and perseverance have finally paid off as on November 23rd he’ll challenge Callum Smith not only for a couple of title belts, but also the status as the #1 in the world at 12-stone. He tells the FD team about the pitfalls he’s overcome to get to this point and how, for him at least, November 24th simply does not exist. He’s promising a big upset the night before.
