“Your Ass, the Biggest”

The exchange quickly caught the attention of boxing fans, many of whom noted that Tank Davis and Hitchins were once close.

When Hitchins goes out of his way to praise Shakur Stevenson, who just shook up the division by defeating Teofimo Lopez, it’s a direct boost to Gervonta. He and Shakur have been around each other for a long time, so any ally of yours praising your main rival will feel like a betrayal.

The fact that Tank and Hitchins were tight makes the cut a little deeper. Tank is said to have helped him with money and contacts in the past, so seeing Hitchins publicly fanboying over Shakur would probably make him feel completely disrespectful. Tank basically calls him a power chaser with this “biggest”. [fan/rider]” comment.

The funniest part of this whole situation is how quickly Hitchins deleted the post when Tank showed up in the comments. This tells you everything you need to know about dynamics. This may not lead to a fight in the ring any time soon, as Hitchins is scheduled to make his Zuffa Boxing debut on July 26, but that senior friendship is completely dead.

While there is no indication that Tank and Hitchins are heading towards a fight, a recent social media photo showed how much their relationship has deteriorated since the days when Davis was considered one of Hitchins’ biggest supporters.

“Of course it is a disadvantage. I will face Chris. I will face the referee, judges, officials and these doctors. They will look for any reason to stop the fight so that he can win. I already know that,” Rozicki told Fighthype.

When asked how he planned to avoid leaving the result in the judges’ hands, Rozicki answered simply.

“With my hands.”

The fight will mark Billam-Smith’s debut under his up-to-date multi-fight contract with Zuffa Boxing. The player from Bournemouth will fight in front of his home crowd as a clear favorite against one of the best players in the division.

Rozicki also revealed a level of honesty rarely seen from athletes when discussing their own record. Recalling his first fight with Emiliano Peralta, he admitted that, in his opinion, the judges made the wrong decision.

“It should have been a failure on my record. I still say that to this day. The first one was his and it was a mistake I made,” Rozicki said. – I underestimated it when I went in.

Rozicki explained that he entered this fight already looking for a chance to win the world title and paid the price for it.

“I was looking straight at the WBC world title. I was thinking, ‘I’m going to knock this guy out in the first round.’ “That’s what I did. I looked beyond him,” Rozicki said.

Saturday’s fight gives Rozicki another chance to break into the cruiserweight ring. Billam-Smith may have the home advantage, but Rozicki sounds like a fighter who has already decided that a close fight isn’t enough.
