Riakporhe, who is ranked number one in the UK and number three in the world by the WBO, is confident he has the power to knock out Billam-Smith, who has yet to taste defeat in his 20-fight professional career.
Billam-Smith confident despite underdog status
Billam-Smith, who won the British title in July 2021, is relishing the underdog tag and is determined to prove Riakporhe wrong.
Riakporhe’s rise to the top
Riakporhe has been making waves in the cruiserweight division in recent years, with impressive wins over the likes of Deion Jumah and Sam Hyde.
The 32-year-old is known for his devastating power, having won 14 of his 15 professional fights by knockout.
The clash between Riakporhe and Billam-Smith is set to be an explosive affair, with both fighters determined to emerge as the new British cruiserweight champion.
The fight will take place on Saturday, July 22nd, at the AO Arena in Manchester.
Kind regards C. Christensen.
