Who is Madonna’s rumoured new boyfriend, Richard Riakporhe? The undefeated pro boxer is 30 years her junior, a model for Dior and Burberry, and set to face off against Chris Billam-Smith
- An undefeated professional boxer and runway model for Dior and Burberry, Riakporhe will battle Chris Billam-Smith for the title of WBO world cruiserweight champion in London this month
- Riakporhe suffered a near-fatal stabbing in his native South London at the age of 15, and went on to establish the Richard Riakporhe Foundation with the aim of empowering young people in the community
The pair were snapped together last October at a star-studded party in London whose attendees included Kate Moss and fashion designer Guram Gvasalia. In an Instagram post since deleted from her account, Madonna cheekily captioned the photo, which shows her sitting on Riakporhe’s lap, “I had to sit somewhere.”
