Derek Chisora Wants Richard Riakporhe For Moses Itauma

Derek Chisora has urged heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma to face Richard Riakporhe in his return bout following his knockout defeat to Filip Hrgovic. While Chisora also mentioned Frazer Clarke as an option for a planned January return, he firmly backed Riakporhe as the ideal test, while dismissing a matchup against Agit Kabayel as a step too far.

Boxing 24/7 argues that promoter Frank Warren faces a delicate matchmaking dilemma after Itauma was heavily knocked out by Hrgovic. The publication contends that facing a dangerous puncher like Riakporhe carries excessive risk for Itauma's career, suggesting instead that Queensberry Promotions should match the young heavyweight against durable opponents who lack concussive power.
