Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) feels that a victory over the former Kambosos unified lightweight champion will increase his popularity in the world of boxing. George (21-1, 13 kos) will head against Daud Yordan on March 22 in Sydney, Australia.

Richardson comes from a divided decision victory of 12 rounds over the IBF Light Welter weight champion, Liam Paro, last December. That impressive performance may have scared the main 140 pounds, but not Kambosos. He is not afraid and wants the opportunity to fight Hitchins for his FIB belt because he feels he can win.

Smoke

“This is the king of the 140 -pound division at this time. Nobody wants to mention the name of Richardson Hitchins. You saw Teofimo López and Barboza. We were ready to fight Teofimo, but there is a great show next week in Sydney. He has well open eyes. Kambosos, we believe that is the fight in New York, but this man is ready for all the smoke, “said Eddie Hearn to Dazn boxing About Richardson Hitchins is type #1 in Light Welter Weight.

Remember the name. You know the name, but remember the name. This is the future here. “

Hitchins expected to face the WELTER weight champion of the NBB Light Teofimo López in a unification fight, but in his place he decided to defend himself against his mandatory Arnold Barboza Jr. on the Times Square card in the city of Times in New York.

Richardson still wants to face Teo once his schedule is open. He signed a contract with Turki Alalshikh that will keep him occupied until next year. Hitchins will probably have to wait until then to have an opportunity to face it.

Aimed at Kambosos

“I think Kambosos is perfect. He has the praise, the name and represents Australia as a fighter, “Hitchins said about former lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr.” I think for my legacy, that adds a lot to show that I belong to the Haneys, the Lomachenkos and the greatest names in boxing.

“I feel that I am a little behind, but obtaining a victory over George Kambosos would be special to add my name to the sport of boxing. I feel that I and Teofimo are the best fight in the 140 -pound division. I wanted the fight next, but we couldn’t make it come true. I’m going to do what I have to do in my next fight, and hopefully it will do what it has to do and we can join for the biggest fight with 140 to happen, “said Hitchins.
