John Ryder has praised Canelo Alvarez as he prepares to take on Daniel Jacobs this coming Saturday in a do-or-die fight. The winner of the fight will get to challenge for the belt.

However, for the loser, it could perhaps mean the end of the road. Ryder spoke about what is next after this fight as well as Canelo:

"Yeah, I think obviously we don't know what Canelo is doing yet with the titles, but in time, hopefully, some of them will get vacated. I mean, if he'd vacate the WBA title now, then I think this would be a great candidate for the vacant title, but he's not done so. Listen, he's the man of boxing at the moment, so he'll do what he wants to do when he wants to do it."

Alvarez is currently on the lookout for his next fight as he looks to take his skills to another division. With multiple offers from various divisions, it is only a matter of time until Canelo finalizes his next fight. For Ryder, his biggest task is taking down former champion Daniel Jacobs in order to challenge for the belts. Jacobs is no easy fight.

This Saturday, both fighters will leave it all out in the ring. They have everything to lose and everything to gain from this fight.
