England’s Sandy Ryan (7-1-1, 3 KOs) comes to The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Friday night to defend her WBO welterweight belt in a 10-round bout against former IBF and WBO super featherweight champion Mikaela Mayer (19-2, 5 KOs). Ryan is ranked No. 3 in the world by BoxRec while Mayer is No. 2 on that list. Ryan retained the WBO belt on March 23 in Sheffield, England, when Terri Harper retired after four rounds.
