Richard Riakporhe backed to become cruiserweight world champion; Johnny Nelson sends warning to Londoner's rivals | Boxing News
Richard Riakporhe backed to become cruiserweight world champion; Johnny Nelson sends warning to Londoner’s rivals | Boxing News
No fighter in the cruiserweight division wants to come up against Richard Riakporhe’s deadly one-punch power, believes BOXXER CEO Ben Shalom.  The Londoner continued his world-title assault on Saturday with a devastating second-round stoppage of Italy’s Fabio Turchi, ending their IBF eliminator with a left hook to the body of his opponent. It extended Riakporhe’s perfect record to 15-0 and put…

I’m brainstorming a modern au and can’t wait to finish the first chapter to share it so here we go:
Zoro and Luffy (among others) are pro boxers within the same agency, train at the same gym and all of that. Zoro is climbing the ranks as a cruiserweight boxer and Luffy is the reigning featherweight champion.
Sanji was recently hired by their gym as a nutritionist to help some of the a-list boxers manage their weight between matches, cut, and bulk. Specially Luffy is trying to bulk up to go up a weight class and Zoro is oscillating between cruiser and light heavyweight and they both eat like teenage boys so sanji has his work cut out for him.
The thing I’m stuck on: whether or not this should be
A) a poly fic with established zolu and developing zosan
Or B) just focused on Zosan and Luffy is just an aroace king

Yes! Please! MMA fighter Curtis! He’s so fucking unhinged when he fights! 😭 super size kink and total opposites with a shy reader reader✨! My mind can’t function, it’s so cute!
He goes total beast mode, protecting his title time and time again, ever the undefeated cruiserweight champion. He’s Curtis “Overkill” Everett, standing at 6’5 with tattoos all over his body, telling his life story and ofc your name is proudly inked on his back at the top of his spine.
His favourite place to hangout is his best friend’s tattoo parlour, the very place he met you: you walked in with your friend who was getting a new tattoo, and looked so out of place in your soft green dress and cozy cardigan, holding a fresh box of baked treats to your chest as if someone would snatch it away (it turns out they were just super delicate and you were scared of ruining them 🥹 Curtis thought that was adorable bc:
“they’ll get messed up when you eat them, right?”
And you slowly nod, peering carefully into the box, “yes, but I also love lookin’ at them.”
Your friend helps you out by shouting, “she made them herself!”
Curtis glances back at you, noticing the glitter on your cheekbones. “You can bake?”
“I work at the bakery down the street.” You shift closer as another customer walks in, and Curtis smells the sugary sweetness wafting off of you. It’s good—so fucking good.
“It’s a cute lil place… it’s cat week right now so we’re also makin’ itty bitty cat treats.” You say shyly, fiddling with a loose thread on your sleeve. “It was my idea because I, uhm… I really like cats.”
How adorable. “You’re a real darling, huh?” He flirts, ignoring the scoff from his friend. “I think you’re gonna give me a cavity from how sweet you are.”

Mikio Ueda 100-Men Kumite (attempt)
The 100-man kumite is one of the most difficult undertakings in martial arts. It is exactly as it sounds - one blackbelt going 100 rounds of kumite against 100 similarly skilled opponents. The list of people who have successfully accomplished this is small. Mikio Ueda is THE world champion in Kyokushin karate and he only made it up to 60 before the doctors wouldn't let him continue.
Speaking of Mikio Ueda, after a brief stint in MMA, Ueda is following many other great Karatekas and taking his skills to kickboxing. Ueda will make his kickboxing debut on the ReBOOT~K-1 ReBIRTH~ card this Saturday (Sept. 9) which will air on DAZN outside of Japan. His opponent will be former K-1 cruiserweight champion K-Jee.

Alex Shelley vs. Moose - Shelley won the Impact men's world title in June; as of this week it's been rebranded as the TNA men's world title. Moose earned this title shot in September in a "feast or fired" match.
I'm honestly not sure there's any backstory to this match. The promotion basically went dark after December 9, and the weekly TV has been little more than clip shows and hype for the big rebranding from Impact back to TNA.
The match works without much context, though. Shelley was a mainstay with TNA from 2004 to 2012, as one of the young indy-riffic guys stuck in the midcard; since returning in 2020, he's been exalted as a veteran and a symbol of everything great about the promotion's history. Moose started with the company in 2016, a few months before Dixie Carter sold it to Anthem; he's been a mainstay ever since as they've gradually climbed out of a deep hole. In many respects, either of these men would make sense as the standard-bearer in this new era.
I don't see a title change happening here. When Shelley first won the title I figured it was a short-term thing until they could get it back on Josh Alexander, but they've seemed pretty committed to this run. My guess is that Moose is just here to give Shelley a statement win, so he can be standing tall at the end of the show when some hotter name debuts as a more serious contender. I don't know that TNA has anybody major coming in, but they made serious offers for CM Punk and Will Ospreay and didn't get either of them, so they probably spent that money on somebody...
Trinity vs. Jordynne Grace - Trinity is the defending TNA women's world champion. Grace won a "call your shot" battle royale in October to earn this match.
It's been exactly one year since Grace lost the title to Mickie James. When Mickie had to forfeit the belt due to injury, Deonna Purrazzo beat Grace to win the vacant title. Purrazzo then dropped the chammpionship to Trinity in July.
Trinity debuted with Impact/TNA back in April, almost a year after an acrimonious departure from WWE. Nevertheless, there's been a lot of rumblings about her returning to WWE very soon. Whether or not you put any stock in that, it's going to be the elephant in the room for this match.
Of course, even if Trinity is headed for the Royal Rumble in two weeks, that doesn't mean she has to lose this match. She could easily retain here and finish up at tomorrow's TV tapings. Or she could just stay in TNA. Or she could leave, but go to AEW or who-knows-where. But if I had to put money on it, I think the safest bet is on Grace winning the title.
Chris Sabin vs. El Hijo del Vikingo vs. KUSHIDA - This is a three-way bout for Sabin's TNA X division championship. Vikingo's AAA mega title is not at stake.
Originally, the X division was TNA's concept for showcasing smaller, flippier wrestlers without calling them "cruiserweights" or "junior heavyweights." De-emphasizing the weight classes worked out well for bringing in Samoa Joe, but eventually led to dopey storylines where Kevin Nash and Bully Ray wanted the belt because there was no rule that said they couldn't win it. At one point a weight limit was imposed to cut that shit out. Of late there's no sense that you have to be a particular size or work a particular style to be in contention for the X title. This match, though, is clearly about getting back to the tradition of flippy shit.
Sabin, who's been with the promotion for most of its 22 years, has held the X title ten times. Kushida was a six-time junior heavyweight champion in New Japan, but he's through being pigeonholed in that weight class so he's made TNA his new home. Vikingo is one of the flippiest flippy guys I've ever seen, which is saying a lot in an X division match. I'd say Vikingo would make a good titleholder for the new era, but he's signed to AEW and I'm not confident he'll be sticking around. I'm thinking Sabin retains.
Josh Alexander vs. Alex Hammerstone - Hammersone, who looks like Brock Lesnar and Pat McAfee had a baby, just entered free agency after a five-year run in MLW. Josh Alexander hasn't held a title for nearly a year, but at 36 he's clearly the guy you want to build the company around, since most of the other top acts are hitting 40. I assume Josh wins unless TNA thinks they can sign Hammerstone, or at least get him to commit to another match.
Ace Austin & Chris Bey vs. Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel vs. Mike Bailey & Trent Seven vs. Zack Gibson & James Drake - ABC (Austin & Bey) are defending the TNA men's tag team belts in a four-way. They won the belts from Wentz and Miguel (of the Rascalz). Seven debuted last month to team with Bailey in a winning effort against the Rascalz. The Grizzled Young Veterans (Gibson and Drake) are making their debut with the promotion after a lengthy run in NXT.
This is probably going to be a lot of action, but it probably won't matter how it turns out. No matter who wins, I expect these teams to see a lot of each other in the next couple of months. If I have to pick a winner, I guess I'll go with Gibson and Drake.
Alisha Edwards vs. Dani Luna vs. Gisele Shaw vs. Jody Threat vs. Tasha Steelz vs. Xia Brookside - This is a six-woman "ultimate X" match. The ring will have poles or scaffolding attached to the ring posts, so that two cables can be hung up, criss-crossing about ten feet above the mat. A prize is hung where the cables meet--it could be a briefcase, but it's typically a giant red "X". The first woman to recover the prize wins the match--other than that, there are no rules. The winner will earn a future women's world title match.
The women's division feels a little weak with Mickie James, Deonna Purrazzo, and (perhaps?) Trinity leaving. Masha Slamovich, Killer Kelly, Jessicka Havok, and Courtney Rush aren't booked for this show (so far) and I haven't seen TNA make a big deal out of re-signing any of them (yet). So it's probably time for one or two of the women in this match to step up as a top contender. Luna and Brookside, who came over after the shutdown of NXT UK, probably have the most long-term potential. I wouldn't sleep on Steelz, though.
Anyone could win this, really. It could be someone they're building up for a big push heading into the April PPV, or it could be someone they're just feeding to the champion next week on TV.
Dirty Dango vs. PCO - Dango is the wrestler formerly known as Fandango in WWE, but of late he's reinvented himself as a bitter veteran heel, because heaven knows we don't have enough of those in wrestling. PCO is the wrestler formerly known as Quebecer Pierre in WWE, but a few years back he reinvented himself as a Frankenstein monster, which is a much cooler idea. I'm pretty sure PCO wins, unless he's leaving the promotion soon.
Tommy Dreamer vs. Crazzy Steve - This is scheduled for the pre-show. Dreamer's TNA digital media title is on the line. I think I heard Steve turned on Black Taurus and got more edgelord-y than usual, but I haven't actually seen him in a long time. Dreamer probably still has value as an old-timer wrestler, but not as a champion. I'd give the belt to Steve, but I'm not counting on a title change.
Eric Young & Frankie Kazarian vs. Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers - Another pre-show match. Edwards used to lead the "entitled journeymen" stable Honor No More, and Myers used to be in an "entitled journeymen" tag team with Matt Cardona, and somewhere along the line they just got thrown together to complain about how the promotion doesn't appreciate them enough. EY and Kaz have been in and out of this company for twenty years; I feel like they used to be in a faction together but I don't care enough to look it up. This one could go either way.
Rich Swann vs. Steve Maclin - Still another pre-show match. Both of these guys have been Impact world champions, so I'm not sure what they're doing so far down the card. I'm guessing that only the winner of this match will get a chance to do something about that. I'm thinking Maclin wins.
