Richard Riakporhe receives offer to fight at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park

Richard Riakporhe has received an offer to fight at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park in summer 2024.

Riakporhe has been continuing his cruiserweight journey under the Sky Sports and BOXXER banner and is set to make his latest bow on the undercard of Liam Smith's rematch with Chris Eubank Jr in June. It has been a tough time recently for the London native who has been forced to wait for a world-title shot, but is now in advanced talks to face WBA belt-holder Arsen Goulamirian later this year.

It will have also been a tough blow seeing domestic rival Chris Billam-Smith secure his dream stadium fight against Lawrence Okolie at the Vitality Stadium this month. Riakporhe has made it known from the early stages of his career of his dream to compete on the turf of his beloved Crystal Palace before the end of his career.
