- After Ryan Ford, a former professional MMA fighter, won the UBO World Light Heavyweight title by stopping Sam Rapira in Singapore in February of 2017, he made a quick successful title-defense three months later against Robert Berridge, also in Singapore.

He then decided to move down to Super Middleweight for some world-level title-fights in Russia and Germany, but returned to Light Heavyweight in early 2019 to win the WBC International Silver title with a knockout of then unbeaten Serge Michel in Germany.

Later that year he controversially came up short against British Super Star in-the-making Joshua Buatsi, but rebounded in December with a sixth round stoppage of Mexican Orlando Vasquez in what was his first bout in Canada in over two years.

Ford has and admirable will and desire to face the best possible opponents, anywhere, and he has shown that he can still very much compete at top-level. He will give anyone at Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight a run for their money, and on his day he is capable of beating most.
