Viddal Riley has missed out on the opportunity to secure a six-figure bonus upon his return to the ring despite securing victory.
The 24-year-old social media star was back in the ring following a two-year absence and comfortably outboxed his veteran opponent Willbeforce Shihepo on the undercard of Amir Khan vs Kell Brook.
Riley secured a knockdown in the first round and looked to be on the way for a stoppage, which would have resulted in a £10k bonus from his friend KSI.
Prior to the fight, KSI had promised his friend a tidy bonus if he secured a knockout as he wrote on Instagram: "Knock him out and I give you 10k."
However, that stoppage never came and, as a result, Riley misses out on the bonus - but a six-round encounter will provide a boost following a lengthy absence from the ring.
Following the bout, Riley commented on the promise by telling Sky Sports: "JJ, you're lucky, you get to keep your 10k!"
It was a long-awaited return to the ring for Riley, following a number of frustrations that saw previous scheduled fights called off.
Riley was due to fight on the undercard of a Gervonta Davis event in 2019 and on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr last year but was forced out of both contests with a back injury.
