KSI the internet star will gift Viddal Riley his former boxing coach £10k if he wins his fight by KO this Saturday. Riley will be fighting for the first time as a professional boxer in the UK.

Vidal Riley will be returning to the ring on the undercard of Amir Khan’s grudge fight against Kell Brook at the AO Arena in Manchester. For the past two years, Riley hasn’t fought due to injuries and the Covid-19 pandemic delaying his ring return. In 2019 Riley was scheduled to fight at a Gervonta Davis event 2019. But his back injury forced him out of both contests.

Riley’s return against Willbeforce Shihepo could be even sweeter if he wins by KO. KSI wrote to his former trainer Riley on Instagram, ‘Knock him out and I give you 10k’. KSI was helped by Riley for his first two flights against YouTube star Logan Paul. Riley’s return against Willbeforce Shihepo could be even sweeter if he wins by KO.

Viddal Riley told to Mirror Fighting, ‘I made the right decisions. Some of the fights that didn’t come through were no fault of mine. It was just the world changing how to get around restrictions, I was supposed to be on the Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul card and I was ready to go, my team wanted me to go. But it wasn’t down to me, the things that needed to be in place – I had done before during the pandemic but during a camp, it ruins your flow.’

Shihepo will be Riley’s opponent for the second time. The Nigerian has only fought four times in the last four years. Viddal Riley feels an undercard spot on a big event such as Brook vs Khan is an opportunity he deserves.
