Billam-Smith faces Riakporhe in a summer showdown for the WBO Cruiserweight World Championship, live on TrillerTV+ from Selhurst Park Stadium.
Ranked #1 and #2 in the world, respectively, this bout is a true 50/50 contest, fueled by genuine animosity and promising an electrifying atmosphere. The pair's first encounter in 2019 ended in a narrow and controversial split decision favoring Riakporhe.
Since then, Billam-Smith (19-1) has been undefeated, collecting titles and claiming the world championship against the previously unbeaten Lawrence Okolie last year at The Vitality Stadium. Riakporhe, with an unblemished 17-0 record and 13 explosive KOs, has become the division's most feared knockout artist. The winner of this bout will settle the rivalry and aim for major unification fights against reigning champions Zurdo Ramirez and Jai Opetaia.
In the co-main event of the evening Olympic silver medallist and rising light-heavyweight star Ben Whittaker takes on Eworitse Ezra Arenyeka for the WBA Gold Light Heavyweight Title. Additionally, Isaac Chamberlain will face Jack Massey in a thrilling clash for the European Cruiserweight Championship.
