Cruiserweight rivals Richard Riakporhe and Deion Jumah faced off today at the final press conference for their clash Saturday at Wembley Arena in London.
Richard Riakporhe: Looking into Deion, it’s interesting. He’s been pro for a very long time, only had 14 fights, never had any significant wins. It makes you wonder what is going on with him. He calls himself ‘The Ghost’ – he has been a ghost. It just shows there’s different levels, you know?
Deion Jumah: I’m the superior boxer for sure and if he wants to offload [power] the way he has done in the past, then I’ve got something for him.
Very insightful observations by Riakporhe about Jumah. He’s suggesting here that Jumah doesn’t have real passion for the sport since he’s been relatively inactive. Later, he showed that Jumah is not on his level, by obliterating him with a body shot.
