Chris Billam-Smith has suggested Richard Riakporhe avoided a world title fight against Jai Opetaia as the pair prepare to meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Chris Billam-Smith has dismissed Richard Riakporhe's claims the pair enter Saturday's world title fight as equals, and questioned why his cruiserweight rival did not take on fellow world champion Jai Opetaia. Speaking on The Gloves Are Off, Riakporhe praised the success of Billam-Smith in becoming WBO cruiserweight world champion with last year's victory over Lawrence Okolie.
You haven't fought for a world title until now, so up to this point, who's had a better career?' Riakporhe had previously been a leading contender to face Opetaia, who reigns as the current IBF cruiserweight world champion after his unanimous decision win over Mairis Briedis earlier this month. He insists, though, he would never have passed on the opportunity to fight for a world title. 'You shouldn't speak on things that you don't know,' said Riakporhe.
