Viddal Riley will fight to retain his European title against Seydi Coupe on Saturday. If Riley wins the bout, he could come closer to a chance at a world title.
With 14 fights in his professional career, Riley is already listed as the IBF's No. 2 contender for the world title. The IBF belt is currently vacant, and Riley and New Zealand's David Nyika are ranked first and second.
Riley says he wants to show against Coupe that he is a world title contender. Claiming to be the most well-rounded cruiserweight boxer in the world, he says he has no shortcomings in movement, speed or boxing intelligence.
Riley described Coupe as the obstacle standing between him and a world title. Saying he believes he will win by stoppage, Riley said that failing to stop his opponent would not be a disappointment, but failing to beat him would be. He added that he wants to show the gap in level over twelve rounds.
