PICK: CHRIS BILLAM-SMITH VS. RICHARD RIAKPORHE 2

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday, June 15, at the Selhurst Park Football Ground, in Crystal Palace, London, England, and live on Sky Sports (UK) and Peacock (USA), Cruiserweight titlist Chris Billam-Smith will defend his gold against the unbeaten Richard Riakporhe.

Billam-Smith (19-1, 13KOs) picked up the gold from Lawrence Okolie in May of 2023. Since the big win, Billam-Smith earned a stoppage victory over Mateusz Masternak in December of 2023 for his first defense of the gold.

Riakporhe (17-0, 13KOs) owns a split decision victory over Billam-Smith from back in 2019 for his biggest win. Most recently, Riakporhe easily handled Dylan Bregeon in November of last year, stopping his foe in the second round.
