Billam Smith And Riakporhe Set For Historic All British Summer Stadium World Title Clash

Billam-Smith and Riakporhe Set for Historic All-British Summer Stadium World Title Clash

Fight Card Begins at 17:15 with First Bout Before Sky Sports' Live Broadcast

Fans in US Can Stream the Fight on Peacock, Sky Sports Will Televise in UK

The wait is almost over, as Chris Billam-Smith and Richard Riakporhe prepare to collide in an all-British summer showdown for the WBO cruiserweight world title. The blockbuster event takes place at Bournemouth's Dean Court Stadium on Saturday, July 22, with the first bell set to ring at 17:15.

Sky Sports will broadcast the main event live in the UK, while fans in the US can stream the fight on Peacock. This will mark the first time in over a decade that a world title fight has taken place at an outdoor stadium in Britain.

Billam-Smith (15-1, 11 KOs) captured the WBO title with a stunning victory over Tommy McCarthy last year. He made a successful first defense against Isaac Chamberlain in April, and is now eager to add another notable name to his record.

Riakporhe (15-0, 11 KOs) is one of the most dangerous and exciting contenders in the cruiserweight division. He has stopped his last four opponents inside the distance, and is confident that he can dethrone Billam-Smith and become a world champion.

The undercard features a stacked lineup of British talent, including Commonwealth Games gold medalist Caroline Dubois, rising star Shannon Courtenay, and former world title challenger John Ryder.

Tickets for the event are on sale now at Dean Court Stadium.
