Richard Riakporhe now faces a British cruiser check-in on 26 March at Wembley Arena.
Former European champion Fabio Turchi was originally set to face the undefeated Riakporhe but had to withdraw due to an injury he picked up in training.
In the same show, Deion Jumah and Mikael Lawal collided because of the vacant British cruiser belt but like Turchi, Lawal was injured while camping. Therefore, Riakporhe will now face Jumah directly on Sky Sports.
“The midnight train is running and I won’t let anything get in my way. I’m going to Wembley Arena again on March 26 and I’m coming with everything. Riakporhe said.
“I actually watched Riakporhe online a few weeks ago. We have all the tools we need to take Richard apart and stop him – and this is what is happening on the 26th. I have seen a lot of weakness in him and a lot of flaws,” Jumah said.
“Fans will see why I’ve been the most shunned fighter on these shores for a long time. They will find that some boxers just need their chance. They’ll understand why I’ve been told I’ve been the best cruiser in the country for years. This is my moment now! ”
The London derby between the two unbeaten cruisers will feature Dan Azeez, the first man to defend the British light heavyweight title.
Frazer Clarke had her second professional match against Spaniard Gabriel Enguema. Caroline Dubois, Adam and Hassan Azim also feature Chris Kongo, Joe Pigford, Jeamie TKV, etc.
