Professional career

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. After comfortably outboxing Riakporhe for the first seven rounds, the tables turned in the eighth when Riakporhe landed a powerful right hand, causing damage to Hyde's eye and backing him up against the ropes. Riakporhe followed up with a sustained attack. The swelling on Hyde's eye worsened, prompting his trainer, Joe Gallagher, to throw in the towel in order to save his charge from further damage, handing Hyde the first defeat of his professional career via technical knockout (TKO). [3] At the time of the stoppage Hyde was ahead on all three judges' scorecards, with two judges scoring the bout 68–65 and the third scoring it 67–66. [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. [7] After twelve closely contested rounds Hyde suffered the second defeat of his career, losing via unanimous decision (UD) with two judges scoring the bout 115–113 and the third scoring it 115–114.
