Richard Riakporhe says only an iron jaw will save Chris Billam-Smith from being knocked out when the pair collide at Selhurst Park on June 15.
Billam-Smith will defend his WBO cruiserweight world title against Riakporhe little over a year on from becoming champion by handing Lawrence Okolie his first career defeat. It awaits as a rematch of the 2019 encounter between the two, which saw Riakporhe prevail in a split-decision victory at The O2.
Now we're going forward some years, about to do the same thing, and the majority of the people are saying I've improved more. He's improved, but not as much as me. 'If he believes he's going to win, he's delusional. The math isn't mathing.' Neither Riakporhe nor Billam-Smith have a history for heavy trash-talking in the build-up to the fight, but there is seemingly some added needle to their rivalry in light of their first fight.
