Richard Riakporhe will challenge Jeamie TKV for the British heavyweight title on Saturday, marking his third fight at the heavier weight class. The Londoner moved up from cruiserweight after losing his WBO title challenge to Chris Billam-Smith, securing knockout wins over Kevin Nicolas Espindola and Tommy Welch.

Riakporhe aims to make a statement against TKV on the undercard of the Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "People just don't know yet - I am a serious player in the heavyweight division and if you don't think I am then you're a fool," Riakporhe told Sky Sports, vowing to be a "terrifying" force.

TKV's inside fighting style could test Riakporhe's power, but the challenger remains confident. "I feel like people haven't seen me properly in my element and I haven't had my day yet. But it's going to come, it's coming soon." A British title victory would position Riakporhe for world title contention as he anticipates opportunities in the heavyweight landscape.
