      Viddal Riley vs Mikael Lawal: UK start time, live stream, TV channel for cruiserweight clash

      by

      VIDDAL RILEY faces the toughest assignment of his career yet this weekend in a brilliant cruiserweight fight. KSI’s former trainer will face hard-hitting Mikael Lawal on the undercard of Fabio Wardley vs Frazer Clarke. Viddal Riley was last in action against Anees Taj in a Cruiserweight fightRiley was last in action against Nathan Quarless back in September, winning in dominant fashion. Before that he had a couple of fights with Anees Taj, knocking him out in the fourth round on both occasions. Lawal is a different prospect altogether, however, as he’s a former British cruiserweight champion and has only lost once, in his last fight against Isaac Chamberlain. Riley will have it all to do if he’s to blast Lawal out of there, but he may have to let his boxing do the work if he’s to leave the O2 Arena with a victory. When is Riley vs Lawal?
      Riley’s clash against Lawal will take place on Sunday, March 31.
      The fight will be held at the O2 Arena.
      Expect ring-walks to get going at around 8.30pm UK time.
      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?
      Riley vs Lawal will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena.
      You can live stream the action from the NOW TV and Sky Go apps, both of which are available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.
