Okolie does have a rematch clause so could enforce a second fight with Billam-Smith. But Riakporhe thinks he should now move up to heavyweight. At 6ft 5ins, it can't be easy for Okolie to keep making cruiserweight.
"Maybe he needs to do that," Riakporhe said of Okolie moving up. "Even the punch resistance looked a bit shaky. He doesn't get caught with a lot of shots anyway so why can there be some type of issues when he's getting hit with left hooks like that? It doesn't make sense.
"Maybe I think it's time that he grows into his actual real bodyweight and let the frame put the weight on."
