Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe - Former champion makes prediction for big world title clash
Watch Matias vs. Paro June 15 live on DAZN
Cruiserweight glory is on the line this weekend when Chris Billam-Smith and Richard Riakporhe clash for the WBO title.
The pair fought five years ago and Riakporhe was able to get the job done and he can become world champion if he repeats the result this time around.
Since losing to Riakporhe, Billam-Smith has rebuilt brilliantly with numerous high profile wins against excellent opposition.
The Bournemouth man dethroned Lawrence Okolie last year to become world ruler, and Spencer Oliver, a former European champion, thinks that hard night could be about to catch up on Billam-Smith.
“Billam-Smith has had a tough few fights and that takes a toll on the body as well. He's shown that he's got a great champion mentality, and he can pull through and weather those storms,” said Oliver when speaking to Talksport Bet.
“For me, Riakporhe just edges it. He has beaten Billam-Smith before and knows he can do it once again.”
