Richard Riakporhe has offered Johnny Fisher a chance to challenge for the British heavyweight title, provided Fisher first defeats Michael Pirotton at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports. Riakporhe, a former cruiserweight world title challenger, moved up to heavyweight last year and won the British belt by stopping Jeamie TKV in five rounds. He praised Fisher as a "big puncher" and a strong, likeable fighter, saying he would be a good fight for fans.

Riakporhe also revealed he is a fan of Fisher and the Bosh family, and will cheer him on. He aims to compete at the top of the division, targeting current heavyweight champions, and emphasized his desire to give fans value and entertainment in the ring.
