Lawrence Okolie says Richard Riakporhe has never been on his level and that the 33-year-old cruiserweight 'has never done anything worth giving a toss about'.

Okolie and Riakporhe are known for having blood and had to be separated after going head-to-head at the Creed III premiere in London.

Fans were hoping the pair would settle their feud in the ring after Okolie defended his WBO world cruiserweight title against David Light last month.

However, a bout between Okolie and Riakporhe never materialised. Instead, Okolie agreed to face Chris Billam-Smith at the Vitality stadium this evening.

Some boxing fans questioned Okolie why Okolie chose to fight Billam-Smith over Riakporhe. But, The Sauce has no revealed he offered to fight both boxers.
