Sam Hyde (boxer)

Hyde made his professional debut on 8 March 2014, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory against Elvis Dube at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester.

[2] After compiling a record of 13–0–1 (6 KOs) he faced Richard Riakporhe for the vacant WBA Inter-Continental cruiserweight title on 10 November 2018 at the Manchester Arena.

The bout served as part of the undercard for the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tony Bellew undisputed world title fight.

[4] He bounced back from defeat with two TKO victories in 2019—Jozef Jurko in April[5] and Jiri Svacina in September[6]—before challenging the English cruiserweight champion Deion Jumah on 19 January 2020 at the Woodhouse Park Lifestyle Centre in Manchester.

The bout was a final eliminator for Hyde's former foe, Richard Riakporhe, and his British cruiserweight title.
