He had a regimented childhood to fortify structure into Riley’s life at a young age. This meant that purpose was ingrained within him, it also offered him the tools to ensure he remained on track with his ambitions as he matured into an adult.

As an amateur he collected eight national championships and a European Junior Silver Medal in Russia in 2013.

In 2018 he entered the Mayweather Boxing Club to train for KSI’s Second amateur fight with Logan Paul. His talent signed him a deal, impressing both Jeff Mayweather and Amer Abdallah, this is when his professional career kickstarted.

Riley is undefeated in his professional career in winning all 6 of his fights, 3 by knockout. He talks to us about his career, coping mechanisms for negative thoughts and the importance of self-belief.
