IBF Featherlight Direter Wich Master Richardson Hitchins (20-0, 8 Kos) says that he wants to fight Teofimo Lopez or Devin Haney after his eighth round TKO wins over the Shell George Cambosos Jr. (22-4, 10 KO) On Saturday evening at the Madison Square Garden theater in Modern York.
Lopez, Haney then for Hitchins?
Hitchins thoughts He arrived in Superstardom After defeating one hit Wonder Cambosos, and this is not reality. He is simply perceived as a guy who chose Cambosos to easily win and avoid compulsory IBF, Subriel Matias and Gary Antuanne Russell. In other words, two fighters who can beat him.
It is not clear whether Teofimo and Haney expect that Turks Alalshikh will finance the fight against Hitchins, because without him, to put money, they probably won’t get a lot $ 10 million The handbags they received for the last fights with the target on May 2 at the Times Square in Modern York. When Teo and Devin find out that they will not get $ 10 million to fight Hitchins, they will disappear and leave.
Financial obstacles for Hitchins’ fights
Teofimo and Haney will not be satisfied with obtaining a $ 2 million bag due to Turka’s not involvement. Hitchins is not a PPV star, and the fight between him and Lopez or Haney will not be a fight worthy of PPV. Promoters can put it on DAZN PPV, but it will not bring vast numbers, because Hitchins, Haney and Lopez are not proven PPV fighters/
“Teofimo Lopez. Or one of them,” said Richardson Hitchins in Press conference after the fight Asked who would prefer to fight between Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez after winning him with George Cambosos Jr. On Saturday evening.
You can understand why Devin and Lopez would like to fight Hitchins the next one after he looked like Cambosos tonight. Despite the TKO won from the eighth round over Cambosos, Hitchins looked very beating and not impressive. Lightweight, Andy Cruz, would worry Hitchins if he were in the ring. Cruz is nowhere close to the same size as Hitchins, but he defeated it.
“With me, my approach, my charisma, my extravagance and what I bring to the table,” said Hitchins, bragging. “People hate me, but they will observe me. Boxing needs someone like me and someone like Teofimo, crazy. So both of them will go for a great accumulation. We are adolescent and best.
“I think it will be drugs and there is a story behind it. It is a great fight, and me and Devin Haney are also a great fight,” said Hitchins.

Richardson Hitchins falls and stops George Cambosos in eight

George Cambosos desperately needed to win on Saturday evening when he fought Richardson Hitchins at the Hulu Novel York theater. There was a lightweight world title Cambosos was now in the role of Challenger. What’s more, the 32 -year -old Australian lost three of the last six fights. And, as if all this was not enough, the defender of Master Hitchins entered the ring both undefeated and about five years younger than the former world list. Hitchins’ loss could make Cambosos in a airy division yesterday – something that the man was undoubtedly aware.
Cambosos pushed the action in the first, although Hitchins put his long, mighty stab to utilize later in the round. Hitchins came to a second, spitting out stabs and power arrows. However, Cambosos maintained pressure. The third was close and high octane romance, although Hitchings could ride it through a cleaner blow. After the fourth, it became clear that Cambosos’s plain attack did not serve him well. If he hired certain angles, Hitchins would not be able to fight as it is today.
Hitchins hurt his man at the end of the sixth. It looked like the end of the line for Cambosos, but the brave Australian hung and fought to the bell ending at the round. Although he did not seem to win the fight, Cambosos deserved to be recognized in seventh place for digging deep and giving every ounce. Unfortunately, for the vintage world titles it did not look like that. Indeed, Cambosos energy levels fell by seventh place. He could still have energy explosions, but battle consumption was shown.
In eighth place it was obvious that Hitchins was not only an aggressor, but he beat Cambosos very much. Brutal law, and then precisely shot with a guide, sent Cambosos to the mat. Cambsos was able to get up, but he looked so bruised and beaten that the judge wisely stopped fighting. If the fight could continue, Cambosos could really hurt.
“If you don’t know,” Richardson said after the fight, “You know now.” Then he said in a rather vulgar way in which he wanted to face Devin Haney (fighters know how to do it). “This is,” said a cheerful, respectful Cambosos. “Cheerful birthday to Richie.”

Richardson Hitchins produced the surgical beating of the former united featherlight champion, George Cambosos Jr. With a knockout of the 8th round to maintain the IBF welterweight championship at the Madison Square Garden theater in Novel York.
It was a controversial structure of the fight when Hitchins and Cambosos showed their bad blood during the week of fighting numerous verbal exchanges. But Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) recently laughed, knocking out Cambosos (22-4, 10 KO) with a shot in the body just a few seconds after screaming to the corner of the opponent to stop the fight.
It was a one -sided Hitchins performance, 27 years vintage, who promised to end the fight at a distance.
“I told the boxing world that I was coming and they should have heard,” said Hitchins. “I’m here now.”
32-year-old Cambosos Jr. He tried to become a champion of two divisions after he was a united champion of lightweight, when he upset Teofimo Lopez in 2021. However, he had 2-3 in the last five struggles with losses for Devin Haney (twice) and Vasiliy Lomachenko before entering the ring with Hitchins. It was a brave performance of Cambosos, but his younger and faster opponent seriously spoken him. According to Compubox, Hitchins landed 205 out of 398 stamps (52%), while Cambosos was able to connect only on 57 out of 384 hit, which is a low 15% clip.
Cambosos remained on the front foot early to get inside, but Hitchins used his six -inch advantage to control the distance, throwing stab and putting his right hand behind.
After two rounds, Cambosos already had injuries from JAB Hitchins with mice under the right eye. But Australian was determined and continued to move forward. Hitchins took advantage of Cambosos’s frustration, choosing his progress with a combination of impact.
In the 5 round, Hitchins wounded Cambosos with a blow and patiently cut his wounded opponent. It is only a matter of time before the opportunity introduced itself again, and Hitchins fully used in round 8.
“I part of the blood in the water,” said Hitchins. “I knew that I had to go to some threatening places to make good shots. I knew I had a good defense and I could do a blow. He didn’t hurt me, so I went to the murder.”
Hitchins opened the eighth round with his left hooks, which found their mark. Hitchins began to talk to the corner of Cambosos, asking them if they wanted to stop the fight before the left in the body, sent the Australian on canvas for good at 2:33.
“I told my father, if you love your son, you would stop the fight,” Hitchins replied when he asked what he said to the corner of Cambosos.
It was the first defense of the Hitchins title after defeating Liam Paro in December, and it was his best performance so far. After winning, Hitchins announced that he would be a free agent and called for the former undisputed featherlight champion Haney. But the WBO Junior D Junior Wadzka, Lopez, entered the ring and called for unification between them.
Hitchins does not lack the option of his next defense of the title, but that night the Brooklynite performance formally announced his arrival as one of the best fighters in the Junior welterweight division.
