Sandy Ryan insists that Mikael Mayer’s conversation and provocation would not consider her this week in the Saturday rematch with injury.
The English pretender is also convinced that there will be no repetition of the incident before the fight, the last time she fought Mayer in Madison Square Garden in September 2024. Someone threw the paint to Ryan when she left the hotel to go to the place of struggle to face Mayer, who then won the WBO World Waiterwaggg decision with a majority.
Ryan (7-2-1, 3 KO), 31, from Derby, blamed the unnamed member of the American Mayer team for assault. Mayer (20-2, 5 KO), 34, from Colorado, denied any involvement of her team in the incident.
Ryan prepared in Las Vegas with the former coach Mayer Kay Koroma, and this week there will be her brother Dave, a former professional boxer, alongside Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
“It would not surprise me if there were more from her, but this time we are prepared,” said Ryan Espn.
“I think that she likes to provoke, uncomfortable opponents. She knows what to do, and fair play all her antics before the fight worked last time, but it won’t work.
“With this [the paint attack] It happens three hours before the fight last year, I think it had an impact on me and fought emotionally, I fought with anger and it had an impact on how I performed.
“Everything they want to try. My manager cares for safety, so everything will be sorted and I have my older brother [Dave] on my side. This time I will have more of my people.
“I’m not going to blame who did it. It’s obvious. I will let people decide, let them come up with their own minds and have their opinion on this.”
Ryan and Mayer will face each other in one of the largest women this year due to their intensive competition, which will last beyond Saturday if Ryan takes revenge.
“This [their rivalry] He placed the women’s boxing on a immense platform, on the headline in Las Vegas in the main event, but maybe I will have to get up on the stage in my headphones, so I don’t have to listen to her, “said Ryan Espn.
“He loves to do this, trash conversations and I expect to do it, he can’t cope.
“If I beat Mayer this time, I will fight her for the third time [U.S.] Because there is a rematch clause. “
