Getting to know... Shannon Ryan

We spoke with Shannon 'Kaos' Ryan about all things boxing...

Who are your favourite fighters of all time that have inspired you?

Floyd Mayweather, Pernell Whittaker and Amanda Serrano.

What has been your favourite fight in your career so far?

My favourite fight was in my 4th professional bout against Ivanka Ivanova which was my first six-rounder and I was tested the most out of my previous fights.

More rounds suits my style and I feel I showed a vast amount of skill and boxing IQ.

What would you say are your best attributes in boxing?

My best attributes in boxing are my footwork, hand speed, defence and left hook.

Do you have any interesting pre-fight rituals/ superstitions?

My pre-fight rituals are listening to a motivational speech which I find inspiring before heading out to the ring and listening to music that relates to me.

What are your ultimate goals in boxing?

My ultimate goal in boxing is to become undisputed world champion. I want to be able to inspire other females and males (any age) to really go after what they want in life and to keep knocking down the doors if they are faced with any challenges.

Next fight

Shannon Ryan was due to face Emma Dolan on 10th February for the British & Commonwealth super-flyweight titles but Dolan was forced to withdraw due to illness, with Ryan instead facing Jasmina Zapotoczna.

After defeating Zapotoczna, Ryan called out Dolan in her post-fight interview and a rescheduled bout between the pair is likely.
