Viddal Riley warns he is "too elite" to have toughness tested in next fight

Viddal Riley has warned upcoming opponent Anees Taj that he is "too elite" for his toughness to be tested by the boxers he is facing as he progresses through the ranks.

The London-born cruiserweight is famous outside of the ring for his massive YouTube following, but he has proven on seven occasions as a professional he is far from a social media boxer. Having knocked out his last two opponents and dropped the first man he fought after a two-year lay-off, Riley takes a big step-up against the 7-2 Taj.

Taj marks a notable difference in opponent for Riley in his first fight of 2022, but the unbeaten prospect is confident that he will be rid of him within three rounds, just as he has stopped his previous two opponents under the BOXXER banner on Sky Sports.
