Billam-Smith vs Riakporhe Undercard, Start Time, TV Channel, Tickets, Ring Walks
Chris Billam-Smith and Richard Riakporhe clash in an all-British world title showdown for the WBO World Cruiserweight Championship on Saturday, June 15th at Selhurst Park, the home of Crystal Palace F.C, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Peacock in the USA.
Defending champion Billam-Smith (19-1, 13 KOs) will be looking to avenge his only career defeat when he makes the second defence of his WBO World Title against big-punching South Londoner Riakporhe (17-0, 13 KOs).
Billam-Smith vs Riakporhe Undercard
Isaac Chamberlain will challenge Poland’s Michal Cieslak for the European Cruiserweight Championship in the co-feature.
Chamberlain (16-2, 8 KOs) was named as the mandatory challenger for Cieslak’s European crown following a dominant points victory over London rival Mikael Lawal for the British and Commonwealth Titles at York Hall in October.
The 30-year-old will face the fierce punching Pole Cieslak (26-2, 20 KOs), a former two-time world title challenger, who captured the European Title with a knockout win over Dylan Bregeon in April 2023 and has since defended the strap with a stoppage victory over former European champion Tommy McCarthy.
Ben Whittaker will look to silence press conference crasher Ezra Arenyeka when the unbeaten fighters clash for the WBA Gold Light Heavyweight Title.
Arenyeka (12-0, 10 KOs) is completely unknown but has landed a big opportunity after crashing Whittaker’s last press conference.
Whittaker (7-0, 5 KOs) has been criticised for the pace he has moved as a professional after winning silver at Tokyo 2020 and is finally moving into a ten-rounder on June 15.
