Riakpo: "Okoli will pay for his disrespect"

Andrew Karlov Feb. 17, 2023, 4:48 a.m.

"He will pay for what he did," claims Richard Riakpo (16-0, 12 KOs), who tried to pick a fight with Lawrence Okoli (18-0, 14 KOs) last night at the premiere of the movie Creed III.

“I was watching a movie, by the way, a great movie, I was having fun with my friends after the premiere, and suddenly Okoli appeared out of nowhere and started talking to me. He entered my space, showed disrespect, then the red light turns on and I instantly explode. I only remember the moment when they began to stretch us. Fortunately, no one managed to strike. Now my number one goal is to fight him. I have always considered myself number one, but until he fights me, I will not calm down. This fight is now our destiny. And as soon as we are in the ring, he will pay for this disrespect," Riakpo commented on yesterday's incident.
