British professional boxer Richard Riakporhe has partnered with global children's charity Street Child, and will 'work to increase awareness of the ongoing conflict in Nigeria and to highlight the charity's impact in the country'.

The former British cruiserweight champion recently returned from a visit to Maiduguri with the charity, and said of the collaboration 'It’s great to be announcing I’m the newest Street Child partner. I wanted to connect back home with my roots and seeing the work with my own eyes made me realise the impact Street Child are having in Nigeria. I wanted to align myself with them, they stand for what I stand for'.
