Winning His First Title Last Year, Viddal Riley Reflects Back on Past Rivalry and Career Achievements in 2023

2023 has come to an end and Viddal Riley reflects on it. You may know him as a potential opponent of Tommy Fury and the former trainer of KSI. However, there is a lot more to know about him. He is an undefeated English boxer, who earlier had signed with Mayweather promotions, and is now the current English cruiserweight champion. 2023 was quite a successful year for him.

In a recent interview with Boxing Social, the English boxer gets candid and, in retrospect, gives a comprehensive breakdown of his career achievements in 2023. So, without further ado, let’s jump right in at his comments.

Viddal Riley Reflects Candidly on a Satisfying 2023

Riley boasts an impressive record of 10 victories with no defeats. Out of which, 3 wins come just in 2023. He defeated Anees Taj twice in a grudge match via stoppages in both instances. And if that was not enough? He ended the year with a bang by defeating Nathan Quarless via a unanimous decision. In the interview, Riley conveyed his belief that this year was quite a landmark one for him.

While reflecting on his achievements, Riley stated, “2023 was a good year. I had to settle a little rivalry, a mini rivalry with Anees and obviously becoming a champion, a professional boxing champion which as much as I achieved as an ameteur and as much as people talk about my potential. 2023 is when I first touched a professional boxing title.”

It is safe to say that times are exciting for Riley given how the year went. There are plenty of opponents lined up for him. However, they all lead to his ultimate goal which is to be a world champion. But who is next?

What lies ahead for Riley?

However, after the recent win of, ‘TNT,’ Fury called out Logan Paul and gave little to no attention to Riley. This struck a nerve in him who did not shy away from taking digs at Fury. On X., he stated, “This guy is like a lodger, who refuses to leave when you want your room back.”
