[Boxing- UK] 11.6/ 22:00 R.Riakporhe- F.Turchi

The Midnight train is an 1-8 shot to get past his Italian opponent and the Walworth warrior would be in line for a crack at Mairis Briedis' IBF world title should he past this test.

Riakporhe has steamed past domestic rivals Tommy McCarthy, Chris Billam-Smith and Jack Massey, but he was given a bit of trouble by Deion Jumah back in March. He eventually stopped the Hammersmith hitter, but it was a far from convincing performance, even if it was another knockout victory.

The Walworth warrior is a heavy-hitting cruiserweight but he is also pretty muscle bound and rigid, and while the Midnight Train is the more likely winner of this contest, the betting seems a little over-optimistic.

Turchi is a decent-level opponent, and while he lost a close fight to McCarthy in 2019, that's the only defeat on the Italian's card. He has never been stopped and this fight looks likely to go long.
