John Ryder has now won 32 and lost five of his 37 professional fightsJohn Ryder beat Zach Parker to win the interim WBO super-middleweight title - and move closer to a bout with Mexican legend Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
After a thrilling opening four rounds, Parker had to pull out of the fight at the start of the fifth round, citing an injury to his right hand.
It was Parker's first loss in 23 bouts.
Ryder could now fight Alvarez in May or be upgraded to full world champion if the four-weight world champion decides to not fight at this weight next time.
