Morrell previously won the interim super middleweight title less than a year after his pro debut.
Morrell (4-0, 3 KO) made his pro debut in August of 2019 and won the interim title just under a year later with a decision over unbeaten-but-untested Lennox Allen. Then came Mike Gavronski, whom Morrell demolished in three rounds just last month. He missed weight badly for that one, but still got to keep the belt when it was switched to a non-title bout.
Ryder (29-5, 16 KO) is monumentally more dangerous than the likes of Allen and Gavronski. He should have been the WBA “super” champ after his tremendous effort against Callum Smith, only for rotten judging to intervene. When neither a rematch nor a proposed clash with Daniel Jacobsmaterialized, he stayed busy against Mike Guy, whom he beat over 10 terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad rounds.
