Parker was originally scheduled to fight Demetrius Andrade for the interim title, but the American withdrew due to injury. Consequently, Ryder was chosen to replace Andrade on the card.

This Zach Parker vs. John Ryder preview will gear you up for betting on the fight. Below, I break down the odds for the bout, take a look at both boxers and share my recommended pick. Let’s get ready to rumble!

Zach Parker (-225) / John Ryder (+175) / Draw (+1400)

Zach Parker Points or Decision (+110)

Zach Parker KO/TKO (+300)

John Ryder Points or Decision (+275)

John Ryder KO/TKO (+600)

As you can see, Parker is the bookmakers’ favorite to claim the win at The O2. The 28-year-old has dished out several eye-catching knockouts in recent fights, extending his unbeaten record in the process.

Ryder heads into Saturday’s bout as the outsider, although his price is still relatively low. “The Gorilla” will be confident of upsetting the odds after defeating Daniel Jacobs earlier this year. It’s time to take a closer look at both fighters.

It’s safe to say that Parker has enjoyed plenty of success since teaming up with Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions. Indeed, the Derbyshire native achieved three successive KO/TKO victories last year – dispatching Vaughn Alexander, Sherzod Husanov and Marus Morrison.

All three of those opponents had not previously been stopped before entering the ring with Parker. Better still, Parker ended each of the fights within four rounds and only needed a single round to knock out Husanov.

Parker boasts a professional record of 22-0, with 16 of those wins coming by way of knockout. Needless to say, that is a phenomenal record.

As for Ryder, he holds a record of 31-5. The 34-year-old began his professional career back in 2010 (five years before Parker) and has featured in nine fights more than his next opponent.

Following the controversial split-decision victory over Jacobs earlier this year, Ryder comes into Saturday’s clash on a three-match winning streak. However, when you look at the bigger picture, he has lost three of his previous 11 bouts.

Few would argue that Ryder is not past his best. The Londoner has registered some impressive results over the years, but he could struggle to deal with Parker’s power.

Zach Parker vs. John Ryder Predictions

In my eyes, Parker should be too strong for Ryder. Backing Parker at -225 is by no means a bad bet, but the best value can be found in the KO/TKO market.

Let’s not forget that Parker knocked out Alexander, Husanov and Morrison last year, achieving back-to-back KOs inside two rounds. If the Derbyshire native can pick up where he left off in 2021, he should make light work of Ryder.

Best Bet: Zach Parker KO/TKO (+300)
