Boxing Social's Rob Tebbutt is joined in the podcast booth by unbeaten cruiserweight contender Richard Riakporhe.

Riakporhe opens up on being sucked into gang culture in his early life on the streets of South London, recalls how a schoolteacher he terrorised became one of his biggest supporters and compares his rap skills to cruiserweight rival Lawrence Okolie.

With the cruiserweight division one of the most competitive in Britain, Riakporhe casts a look at his domestic rivals, and talks a potential rematch with Chris Billam-Smith and Tommy McCarthy, as he seeks to return to the ring following a period of inactivity due to injury and the COVID-19 pandemic.
