Richardson Hitchins still says that his goal is Teofimo Lopez at the age of 140, and if he can’t get him, he moves and follows Devin Haney. He thinks that these are fights that will turn him into a star overnight. That’s why Hitchins wants to fight them immediately.
Hitchins now wants vast fights
Unlike Teofimo and Haney, who won their place, defeating Vasily Lomachenko, Hitchins does not believe that he has to do it. Just beating George Cambosos Jr. It was enough in his mind.
Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) IBF Delicate Welter Wweight wants vast fights right away. He believes that his victory over Cambosos Jr. He puts him able to fight Teofimo and Haney. However, none of these guys mentioned the desire to fight him. Hitchins’ fighting style is too uninteresting; It moves too much and connects all the time. Teofimo and Haney don’t want to fight such guys.
Richardson put the cart in front of the horse when it comes to the attempts of great fights before he built as the first, going to the killers. This is a idle approach that we see from fighters who want to fight for huge money right away and do not want to earn on their own skin.
Hitchins must fight pretenders
Driving from Brooklyn, Modern York, Hitchins does not want to fight Ernesto Mercado, Gary Antuanne Russell, Subriel Matias or Alberto Puello. 27 -year -old Richardson wants great fights without having to work for them. In addition to his reluctance to fight construction, Hitchins shot himself at the foot, choosing re -signing with Eddie Hearn. He announced to fans and media that he was a free agent after the victory over Cambosos Jr. June 14.
Hitchins assumed that his services would be crazy. It did not happen and is a stupid move that failed because he looked like a betrayal on his part. He also did not realize that his combat style was not attractive enough to make him a free agent.
“Yes, I would go to 147 and I would aim at Devin Haney. It makes sense. I and he have a story. He is not a huge blow and he is a guy who is fresh from 140,” said Richardson Hitchins to Chris Mannix canal. “This is not too much regulation, I have to do from 140.
Teofimo Lopez is unlikely to fight
Hitchins must now go to 147. If he is not going to fight Matias, Mercado or Russell, he will not augment his popularity by choosing cherry of washed guys. Teofimo will never fight him. He should have already understood this.
“It would make my name in boxing to get such a great win. I would also beat him and it would make sense,” said Hitchins. “When I go to 147, I want Devin Haney, Brian Norman and Mario Barrios. I feel that I am now one of the best fighters in sport. He is [Haney] Not better than me. “
So Hitchins wants great fights for 147 without having to work for him. Again, he has a sense of permissions, believing that he should take great fights without working on them as other fighters do.
Hitchins’ path to great fights
If he lifts up, he must fight the best pretenders to win his place, and don’t expect him to be handed over to him only because he was a champion of paper at the age of 140. Hitchins should fight these pretenders in welterweight to get the fight against Haney, Norman Jr. and Barrios:
Rohan Polanco
Shakhram Giyasov
Karen Chukhadzhian
Jack Cattell
Raul Curiel
“We have an eye on Teofimo Lopez, especially with the fact that we have the same manager, Keith Connolly,” said Hitchins. “Shakur tried to come from nowhere and try to interfere. He tries to fight Teofimo. There is no clear direction where we can go further, but Teofimo Lopez is a fight that, I think, we can happen.”
It doesn’t matter that Hitchins and Teofimo divide the same manager. Teo will still not fight him because there is no money in it, and he has this antique fight style not involving Mayweather. Hitchins fights too similar to him and Shakur Stevenson so that Lopez wants to bless him with a fight and he must chase him.
“It’s a fantasy fight for me. Two Modern York guys. I hope we can do it on Brooklyn. I think it will be a great event. When my personality and his personality are approaching, it will be a great fight,” said Hitchins.
Hamzah Sheeraz won the WBO super middleweight title last month and the undefeated star wants a quick turnaround, with another 168-pounder stating he would be ready for the opportunity to fight the Briton at tiny notice.
Anthony Joshua will return to action next month when he faces Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, hoping to make his long-awaited showdown with arch-rival Tyson Fury.
Earlier this week Boxing Scene reported that two world titles could be up for grabs on the undercard, with both Josh Kelly and Sheeraz set to make their first defense of their world titles in the super welterweight and super middleweight divisions, respectively.
Although Kelly is reportedly scheduled to face Caoimhin Agyarko from Belfast, Sheeraz’s opponent is unknown and the only condition is a place in the top fifteen of the WBO rankings.
In an interview with Boxing News, 39-year-old Milorad Zizic, who is rated No. 9 by the WBO, shared his desire to challenge for Sheeraz’s crown in a fight where he could join Dejan Zlatičanin as the second Montenegrin world champion in boxing history.
“It would mean a lot to me. I live for this goal. It would be a great honor for me, my family, Montenegro and the entire Balkan region. Becoming only the second world champion in Montenegro’s history would be something truly special.”
“It would mean everything to me. I live for boxing. I truly believe this fight could become the upset of the decade.”
“Hamzah Sheeraz is a true champion. He is in great shape and I have a lot of respect for him. But believe me, he has never faced such a devastating blow as I did. Believe me, he will never face such a devastating blow as I did. I respect him as a fighter, but not to the point of thinking that I cannot beat him. I believe in my abilities and I am sure that I can make my dream come true.
“It will be a war from the first bell, I know how it can be. If we fight and he survives five rounds, he will be the winner, but five rounds against me is a long time.
“If Hamzah and his team want this fight, I’m ready. If not, that’s fine too. I will keep moving forward, keep working and stay focused on my journey. My time will come.”
Although his head coach is Joco Todorovic, Zizic has previously been cornered by fan favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr, who continues to train him.
Speaking to Boxing News, Jones explained why he thinks Zizic will be an compelling test for Sheeraz, agreeing with Zizic’s plan to force a shootout.
“Zizic is a very strenuous puncher, as is Sheeraz, they are both very strenuous punchers. Zizic was off for a minute, but he came back and got four quick wins, he’s back busy and I think it would be a great fight for Sheeraz.”
“Like I said, they’re both really good punchers, and Sheeraz won’t come across many people who can match his punching power, but Zizic has that punching power.”
“He has to go straight to him. He can’t try to box him, he’ll go straight to him. That would probably be the smartest approach because if you box him, as long as he [Sheeraz] means he will beat you.
“So your best chance is to get to him as rapid as you can and see if he can withstand your blows. If you wait, he’ll get you out of there.”
News on Sheeraz’s opponent – if he appears on the card – is expected soon, with fellow WBO-ranked contenders Bernardin Jakaj (No. 12) and Jack Bowen (No. 14) also among potential opponents.
Eddie Hearn has admitted that the long-awaited clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could be renegotiated, depending on the demands of paymaster Turki Alalshikha.
As of now, both British heavyweights will face each other later this year, provided they complete their warm-up fights.
While Fury’s fight has not yet been announced, it has been confirmed that Joshua will face Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
“The Gypsy King” is expected to have a hard-fought fight in August, potentially against Nelson Hysa, following his April unanimous decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov.
If all goes to plan, ‘AJ’ and Fury should meet in the UK, although Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn revealed the location could be renegotiated.
Furthermore, White also suggested that Joshua’s promoter Hearn has not yet been informed of the location, seemingly suggesting that the fight could take place in America.
In response, Hearn said IFL Television that this turn of events will have to be renegotiated and spelled out in both Joshua and Fury’s contracts.
“Without AJ’s consent, the fight cannot take place anywhere outside the UK. And there was no such consent.
“If there is a renegotiation and we want to make a deal again, I am sure we will consider it. [But] apart from money, we want this fight in the UK.
“We will act accordingly and will hold talks with Turki Alalshikh if asked, but who really wants to watch this fight at 4am UK time?”
Given that the pair are most likely to perform in November, when British weather for stadium shows is unpredictable at best, fans may need to prepare for an event in the United States or even Saudi Arabia.
