<\/p>\nVIDDAL Riley has become a well-known name in the world of boxing.<\/p>\n
He has worked with multiple famous faces but has also made a name for himself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Viddal Ethan Danso Riley was born on July 7 1997 in Hackney, London.<\/p>\n
He is an English professional boxer, rapper and internet personality and is the current English cruiserweight champion.<\/p>\n
He first found fame when he trained YouTuber KSI for his exhibition bouts against Logan Paul.<\/p>\n
His own skills in the ring got him noticed by Mayweather Promotions, and he is now trained by Floyd's dad Jeff.<\/p>\n
Riley was just six when he took up boxing in one of the many local gyms.<\/p>\n
It was his father, Derrick, who introduced his son to the sport, and he showed his skill as he powered through the amateur ranks.<\/p>\n
In ten years Riley won numerous titles as an amateur, including eight national championships, and a European Junior Silver Medal.<\/p>\n
While in 2014, he became a 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympian for Team GB.<\/p>\n
His amateur record was 41-8 – with 19 knockouts.<\/p>\n
In 2018, Riley went pro after making ends meet by being a personal trainer.<\/p>\n
He was signed to Floyd Mayweather's Mayweather Promotions, with CEO Leonard Ellerbe waxing lyrical about his new discovery's ability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to add this young man to our roster," Ellerbe said<\/p>\n
"He knows he\u2019s in great hands in terms of guiding his career in the right direction, and he has the whole UK supporting him.<\/p>\n
"Viddal Riley is the whole package across the board and his charisma will take him far. We look forward to what his future<\/span> holds & we welcome him to Mayweather Promotions\u2019 team with pleasure."<\/p>\n Riley was equally as excited and said: "Signing to Mayweather Promotions is the biggest mark in my career thus far.<\/p>\n "I am now attached to the biggest name in boxing. I look to make similar history<\/span> once I reach the heights of my career with the help of Mayweather Promotions and my team. "If you\u2019re not aware of the name yet, it\u2019s Viddal Riley. Expect entertainment in multiple forms and ring IQ beyond my years."<\/p>\n His professional record is 10-0 with six knockouts.<\/p>\n It's thought that Riley doesn't have his next<\/span> fight scheduled yet.<\/p>\n However, he certainly isn't close to retiring from the sport and has plenty of potential opponants lined up.<\/p>\n Fans of the boxer would like to see him to go up against Jake Paul or Tommy Fury next.<\/p>\n It's thought that Riley is currently single.<\/p>\n It is also believed that he does not have any children.<\/p>\n Riley tends to keep his personal life private and mostly dedicates his social media to his boxing content.<\/p>\n Riley may look familiar to you as you may have seen him under the guise of YouTube sensation KSI's trainer.<\/p>\n Viddal became the internet personality's head coach ahead of his fights against Logan Paul.<\/p>\n Over 40million KSI fans would've seen Riley push the YouTuber to the limits of his physical capabilities.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "From the first time I met him I knew he was something special," KSI revealed.<\/p>\n "He\u2019s helped me become the beast I am today in boxing. I meant what I said after the Joe Weller fight that Viddal would become a world champion.<\/p>\n "Now that he\u2019s signed with Mayweather Promotions, for me, that accolade is now set in stone. Get ready for Viddal Riley!"<\/p>\n While Logan Paul's brother Jake thinks he could go up against Riley himself.<\/p>\n Talking about the prospect, Jake said: "For sure that can happen. That would be interesting and he has a name, a profile and that's something that excites me for sure.<\/p>\n
