Following his split decision win over Jake Paul last month, Fury is now being called out by fighters in both the crossover and professional boxing sphere. 

Riley is one of those in the professional ranks who is slowly forging a career with an 8-0 record with five of those wins coming by way of knockout, and has expressed his desire to face Fury after he was ranked 38 in the WBC's cruiserweight rankings. 

"I'm ranked number 40, Tommy is actually ranked 38," Riley said on his YouTube channel. 

"I've seen him say in multiple interviews: 'My goal is to be a world champion'.

"He preaches that he wants to be a world champion. I am not currently world championship quality. I have the potential to be - and I will get there - but as it stands I'm not.

"So if you have aspirations of being a world champion, as do I, we are close in ranking, it would be a massive fight, the people would turn out. People would turn out for you. People would turn out for me.

"If that's your aspiration, why look anywhere else?"
