The promoter of Matchroom, Eddie Hearn, confirmed today that Kambosos Jr. (21-3, 10 ko) will fight Hitchins (19-0, 7 kos) the next if things are going well on his roof of 12 round against Wyllie (16-1, 15 kos).

Australian market

Interestingly, Hearn says that Wyllie could face Hitchins if he is victorious. Now, that would be a surprise because Americans do not know him well, and a game that involves it would not be sold in New York.

Hearn mention the possibility of winning Wyllie indicates that he has lost confidence in Kambosos. His repeated bad presentations since 2022 are a good reason for that.

George’s 1-3 record in his last four fights makes it difficult to have confidence that his hand will result on Saturday. Yes not for Hearn wishes to enter the Australian market For Matchroom, I would probably never consider signing Kambosos because he has a dead weight in terms of career.

The money that Kambosos has won in Australia shows the promise. If Hearn can be established in the country, his combatants can take advantage of the situation.

Hitchins’ treatment

“Definitely June in New York,” said Eddie Hearn to Ring Magazine About when George Kambosos Jr. against Richardson Hitchins will happen if everything goes well on Saturday night in the fight of Kambosos against his replacement opponent Jake Wyllie in Sydney.

“As soon as this fight ends, we will begin negotiations with the Kambosos team, and we will try to fight. Hitchins has ended. He already enrolled in it. It is not a problem for George. He earned a lot of money.”

Hitchins has sounded desperate for fighting with Kambosos because the main combatants have avoided him at 140 due to his defensive struggle style. He fights a lot like Shakur Stevenson, and sometimes, he is not willing to commit when he faces opposition to power. Hitchins was booed in his fights against Gustavo Lemos and José Zepeda because he was on his bike and withdrawing every time he attacked.

In Hitchins’ last competition against Liam unemployment, he stayed more in his pocket and was willing to participate. That approach was worth it, with him gaining a divided decision of 12 rounds. His style is bad for Kambosos, and it is surprising that ‘The Emperor’ is willing to face him for his belt. However, George’s options are scarce in 140.

It would not be fine against the other champions, Alberto Puello and Gary Antuanne Russell. Teofimo López would be the ideal option for Kambososo to capture a light welter weight belt, but is chasing larger fights. He will not take his career back to fight a guy who has possibly lost his last four fights.

The contingency

“You saw him headed in Australia against 40 50,000. He has fought against Haney twice, Lomachenko, and defeated Teofimo López in Madison Square Garden,” Hearn said about Kambosos. “Then, he will return to the United States as a challenger, but a renowned challenger. Listen, he has to go to Jake Wyllie.

“If Jake Wyllie wins on Saturday, I could be fighting Richardson Hitchins for the world title. So, the first is the first. You have to concentrate on what is in front of you, and it will be a difficult fight,” said Hearn.

Hearn really must want to enter the Australian market to be willing to use Wyllie as a challenger for Hitchins in June. That fight would only make sense if organized in Australia.

Hitchins does not have many options for interesting fights because the big names, Devin Haney, Ryan García and Teofimo López, will not fight him without the participation of Turki Alalshikh.
