British super-middleweight John Ryder has announced his retirement from boxing after a 13-year career.

The 35-year-old, who twice fought for a world title, suffered a stoppage defeat by Mexico’s Jaime Munguia in his last outing on 27 January.

The Londoner retires with a record of 32 wins and seven defeats.

Ryder said it was with a “heavy heart” he had decided to stop fighting, but said he had enjoyed a “blessed” and “amazing” career.

“Starting in Bethnal Green in [September] 2010 and ending in Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been lucky enough to box everywhere. For a boy from Islington, it’s been some run,” he said.

“Although I did not manage to win that world title, I’ve achieved and experienced more than I could ever have imagined when I first put on a pair of boxing gloves and I wouldn’t change that for any belt.”
