From training YouTube star KSI to chasing a world boxing title

Viddal Riley prepares to defend his European cruiserweight title at Wembley Arena as he works toward a world-title opportunity, years after gaining mainstream attention for training social media star KSI.

Viddal Riley is set to defend his European cruiserweight title against Seydi Coupe at Wembley Arena, moving closer to a world-title shot. Although he has built an undefeated professional record of 14 wins, much of his mainstream attention initially came from working as a trainer for social media star KSI. Despite capturing English, British, and European titles, Riley has found it difficult to completely shake his association with influencer boxing. However, he remains focused on his own athletic achievements and establishing his legacy within the sport.
