Viddal Riley challenges Tommy Fury following WBC rankings update
In a swift response to the recent update in the WBC rankings, professional boxer Viddal Riley, currently ranked No. 40 in the WBC cruiserweight division, wasted no time in calling out Tommy Fury, who now sits at No. 39.
Riley, in a YouTube video posted on his channel, addressed Tommy Fury's newfound ranking and the potential for a high-profile clash between the two British boxers:
"I'm ranked number 40, Tommy is actually ranked 38, I've seen him say in multiple interviews: 'My goal is to be a world champion’. He preaches that he wants to be a world champion. I am not currently world championship quality. I have the potential to be - and I will get there - but as it stands I'm not”.
Riley further urged Fury to match his aspirations of becoming a world champion with actions, suggesting that a bout between them would garner significant attention and fan support. Riley challenged Fury to embrace this opportunity instead of pursuing less competitive matchups.
