Olympic boxer Ben Whittaker intends to make an example of Ezra Arenyeka on June 15, silencing the challenger who boldly confronted him during a press conference for his previous fight. Whittaker aims to maintain his unblemished professional record as he faces Arenyeka on the undercard of Chris Billam-Smith’s cruiserweight world title defense against Richard Riakporhe at Selhurst Park, live on Sky Sports.
Richard Riakporhe has issued a chilling warning to Chris Billam-Smith, vowing to be a ‘salivating Hyena’ when they collide for the WBO world cruiserweight title on June 15. The highly anticipated rematch will mark the second time the pair have met in the ring, with Riakporhe claiming a split decision victory in their first encounter in 2019. Billam-Smith captured the title in May 2023 with a majority decision win over Lawrence Okolie, and will now put his crown on the line against Riakporhe in his opponent’s backyard at Selhurst Park.
