Richard Riakporhe weighed in wearing a gold mask, reminiscent of Deontay Wilder.

He showed off his impeccable physique before facing off with fellow undefeated cruiserweight Jack Massey.

Riakporhe was 14st 2lbs, a pound heavier than Massey, at Wednesday's weigh-in. They fight on Thursday night from 7pm, live on Sky Sports Action.

Massey represents the third time that Riakporhe has fought an unbeaten opponent in his past four fights.

Now 10-0 himself, the hard-hitting Londoner has ended Chris Billam-Smith and Sam Hyde's perfect records within the past 13 months.

Riakporhe said: "Any fight offered to me, I've taken it. You'd be surprised how many boxers turn us down. That's what separates me from the rest. I'm cut from a different cloth."
