Anees Taj has vowed to shatter Viddal Riley’s unbeaten reputation with a stunning knockout inside six rounds.

Riley is recognised as a rising threat in the stacked cruiserweight division after extending his perfect record with three victories in 2022, including two stoppages within the first three rounds.

He now turns his attention to Taj, who appeared in last year’s BOXXER Series tournament, with Riley hoping to start his 2023 campaign in style with another explosive win on Saturday’s Adam Azim bill, live on Sky Sports.

The pair clashed in Boxxer’s virtual head-to-head press conference as Taj claimed that in previous fights, Riley’s opponents “came to lose”.

“I can stop what he’s doing. It will be fun and games. It’s his toughest test so far and it’s mine so far,” said Taj.

“Someone turned up to lose [in his previous fights]. I am not coming to lose; I’m not turning up for the paper. On February 11, I can see what you can do, and you can see what I can do.

“I’ll knock you out in six. I am not coming for money; I’m not coming to lose. If you want a fair fight, I am happy to fight you. I am not worried about money.”

Riley responded in typical fiery fashion, saying that Taj isn’t his toughest opponent.
