Ring Rivals Ready: Billam-Smith and Riakporhe Agree to Battle!

British top fighter, WBO heavyweight champ (up to 90.7 kg) Chris Billam-Smith, and title contender Richard Riakporhe have clinched the terms for their much-anticipated clash. This ringside news comes courtesy of Everything Boxing, tipping their hat to reporter Ben Shalom.

Bill-Smith's been dancing in the ring twice in 2023 – outpunched Lawrence Okolie by the judges' nod and floored Mateusz Masternak before the bell for the 8th.

Riakporhe, not to be outdone, also strutted his stuff twice last year, clinching victories early in both bouts. Richard's been on a knockout spree since 2021, sending four challengers to dreamland before the final bell.
