While Riakporhe enjoys the glitz and glamour of modeling and rubbing shoulders with celebrities, Billam-Smith prefers a quieter life focused solely on boxing.
However, when the two step into the ring next Saturday, their lifestyles will be put aside as they focus on the task at hand – becoming the WBO cruiserweight champion.
It will be a clash of contrasting styles and personalities, but ultimately, the winner will be determined by who can impose their will and skill inside the squared circle.
For Riakporhe, this is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to his craft. He may enjoy the finer things in life outside of boxing, but when it comes to his career, he is all business.
As he prepares to step into the ring at Selhurst Park, Riakporhe is focused on one thing and one thing only – victory.
