Riley, 27, said: “That's great, stuff like that. I just like it.
“At the end of the day he's my opponent, so if he just racks up a list of things that to be my opposition. If it's club support or whatever, I'm here for it.
“There's nothing but friction between us anyway, so I'm like, ‘You're Arsenal and on top of it you're coming to Spurs.’ Yeah man, it's good.”;
Riley has watched in horror this season as his beloved Spurs sit 16th in the Premier League table.
And what's worse, rivals Arsenal are flying high, into the Champions League semi-final after
Talisman Declan Rice – to leave Clarke and the rest of the Gunners faithful in dream land.
But Riley, ahead of their title fight, said: “Unfortunately, he ain't got Declan Rice to help him. This is all on the Chev but that does add a little spice to it.
“I do think it is a nice little twist in the storyline and the and the narrative.
“But the main thing is we're gonna be throwing bangs and I look forward to doing that and the challenge.”;
The night's headliner will see Eubank, 35, and Benn, 28, renew a family rivalry over three decades old.
Their middleweight grudge match with the born rivals meeting in a never-before-seen generational clash.
Riley opens the card and hopes to be one of the thousands watching the blockbuster main event.
He said: “Life likes to throw spanners in the works, but based on where I believe I'm on the card, which is like the first on the main card that, there should be enough time.
“We've gotta see how the fight goes, we've gotta see what's happening, but I definitely, would like to have the opportunity to watch the main event with the British title in hand.”;
But an early knockout could help Riley get to his ringside seat on time.
He grinned: “There's always a possibility that can happen. We see in my last fight, it was at heavyweight also and we did less than six minutes.
“So it definitely has the ability to have a short night but the whole camp is to prepare for the longest.”;
