Eddie Hearn sounded furious on last Saturday, responding to his warrior match, a welterweight master of IBF Richardson Hitchins, announcing inside the ring that he was a free agent after winning George Cambosos at Madison Square Garden in Novel York.

Hearn says he has invested a lot of money in the development of Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO), maneuvering him to the title of the world and the fight of Cambosos. He lost his money in Hitchins’ fight. He felt that he was a stab in the back, a sign of disloyalty, which Richardson, 27, decided to announce to the world last Saturday, that he was a free agent.

Hearn’s Lost Hitchins Investment

Hitchins, of course, counts, it’s someone with a lot of money, such as Turks Alalshikhh, to collect him and pay him millions, as if we saw with a former match warrior, Edgar Berlang.

Richardson: no power, monotonous style

Hitchins did not show the talent who defeated the best fighters at the age of 140. He can defeat some of them, but he probably lost to Gary Antuanne Russell, Alberto Puello and Teofimo Lopez, because he has no power. Hitchins’ crime is restricted to stab and law.

This style will not work against Russelle, Lopez and even Subriel Matias. This can explain why Hitchins did not show interest in the fight against Matias or Russell. These guys beat him. The novice in the division, Keyshawn Davis, would also be a nightmare for Hitchins, like Ernesto Mercardo.

Hitchins is like another type of Devin Haney. There is no power and must be carefully adjusted, otherwise he lost. It is not clear why Hearn wasted money on him because he is not talented enough to defeat the killers in the division obsolete Mayweather game.

“There is no loyalty in boxing. I remember when I met Richardson Hitchins. The door of his car fell. I spent a lot of money, investing in a youthful man I really respect,” said Eddie Hearn IFL TVResponding to Richardson Hitchins, announcing that he is a free agent in the ring last Saturday evening after the victory over George Cambosos Jr.

I don’t know why Hearn is so nervous that Hitchins announces his free agency. He should say, don’t let the door hit you. Now I can focus on fighter -friendly fans.

The real question is: why did Hearn invested money in Hitchins when his combat style is monotonous, not one that resonates with fans? It was a mistake. Hearn has fighters who have much more fans -friendly styles than Hitchins, which he should build. In the case of Hitchins, it must be protected, because if it is inserted with good 140-pound, such as Gary Antuanne Russell, Ernesto Mercado, Keyshawn Davis and Subriel Matias, would probably lose.

Even Arnold Barboz Jr. And Jake Cattell would be 50-50 fights for Hitchins. He would be pleased with these guys. The only good thing in Hitchins is a garbage conversation, which he performs outside the ring during interviews. He is not a social media guy such as Shakur Stevenson, who publishes on X every day and has vast supporters. Hitchins’ account in social media has very few observers.

Ticket sale: Hitchins problem

“I turned him on Madison Square Garden [against John Bauza]. I recorded him in Orlando [against Jose Zepeda]where we didn’t really sell a lot of tickets and lost a lot of money, “said Hearn about Hitchins.” I adhered to it. I ordered him in Las Vegas [against Gustavo Lemos]Where we didn’t sell many tickets again and lost money. “

The manweather style fails Hitchins

Hearn should have woke up and feel coffee when Hitchins fights with Bauza, Zepeda and Lemos, they did not sell tickets. In addition, Richardson was booed by fans in these fights for his monotonous, most vital combat style. At this point, Hearn should get a clue that the USA on the west coast does not like their hit Retro style manweatherwhich does not work in this era.

“As for Richie [Hitchins] He is concerned, Keith Connolly said: “Make sure you are a free agent.” But that’s fine because you know what you are dealing with. Do I want to be in the Richardson Hitchins industry if so? “Hearn said.

Hitchins has already shown his hand, announcing to the fan that he is a free agent and there is no match. Why would Hearn still want to work with him after he did it? I wouldn’t do it. Let him leave. When Hitchins begins to lose and discovers the money, which he thought, will not be there, he is not there, he will come back. These two problems of Hitchina are these:

  1. Dull fighting style: he uses the style of Mayweather Pot-Shot, which does not work in this era to entertain fans. His fight with Cambosos from the surplus was monotonous to watch.
  2. Lack of power
  3. It must be protected: Hitchins promoters must avoid putting him against killers aged 140 or 147 because he lost. He is not talented enough to defeat Russell, Mercado, Keyshawn, Brian Norman Jr. or Giyasov Shachram. Everyone can see it.

“Edgar Berlanga, who also [is with Keith Connolly, won the lottery, but Turki came along and [signed him]-said Hearn about Berlanga, a warrior who recently decided not to repeat the match again, despite the fact that he was maneuvering a great payment against Canelo Alvarez.

“If he suits me,” said Hearn, asked if he would be ready to cooperate with Hitchins again.

It seems that Hitchins thinks that Turks Alalshikh collects him like from Edgar Berlang after leaving the match. According to Turk’s reports, she will not cooperate with the Hitchins, unless he is with Matchroom. It does not leave Hitchins as soon as you swallow his pride and return to Hearn, hoping that he will still welcome him.

Prince Naseem Hamed’s biopic “Giant” hits the United States on May 22

Published

on

a biopic chronicling the career of former featherweight champion Prince Naseem Hamed will be released in select U.S. theaters and on VOD on May 22. The film stars Amir El-Masry as Hamed and Pierce Brosnan as his longtime trainer Brendan Ingle, with Sylvester Stallone among the executive producers.

Directed and written by Rowan Athale, it premiered at the BFI London Film Festival in October 2025 and was released in the UK and Ireland on January 9, 2026, before arriving in the Middle East via the Red Sea Film Festival. Vertical holds U.S. distribution rights, and the film was financed by AGC Studios and BondIt Media Capital.

What the movie covers

The plot follows Hamed’s rise from Sheffield, England, to a world title under Ingle, an Irish-born steelworker who ran a boxing gym in a church hall. According to the official description, the film also addresses the racism and Islamophobia that Hamed faced in the UK in the 1980s and 1990s, and also focuses on his relationship with Ingle, who died in 2018.

Collider published an exclusive clip from the film on May 21 featuring Hamed’s 1994 fight against Vincenzo Belcastro. In this fight, Hamed won the European bantamweight title in 12 rounds, which was only his 12th professional contest, which was the beginning of his later career.

The warrior behind the film

Hamed, a southpaw of Yemeni heritage, finished his professional career with a 36-1 record and 31 knockouts while holding featherweight titles in multiple sanctioning bodies throughout the 1990s. Now 51, he was known for his unconventional style, pre-fight showmanship and ring walks that often ended with a fall over the top rope. In 2015, he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Following Ingle’s death, Hamed directly attributed his success to his coach Ring that without him he wouldn’t have achieved what he did in sports.

The supporting cast included Toby Stephens as promoter Frank Warren and Katherine Dow Blyton as Alma Ingle. The film lasts 110 minutes.

Rico Verhoeven reacts to the loss of Oleksandr Usyk

Image: Rico Verhoeven Reacts To Usyk Loss: “I’m Here To Stay”

Rico Verhoeven insists he has proven he belongs in boxing despite an 11th-round loss to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night in Egypt.

The former kickboxing champion pushed Usyk much harder than many expected before the referee stepped in tardy in the fight. At the time of the stoppage, two judges had the fight even at 95-95, with the third having Verhoeven ahead 96-94.


“Yeah, it sucks. I felt like I was so close to shocking the world,” Rico Verhoeven told DAZN Boxing after the fight.

“I want to stay here. I think I showed the world that I can definitely box. Even as a kickboxer they told me, ‘Who is this guy? He can’t do anything. It’ll be four or five rounds,’ but I think after four or five rounds we were pretty even in terms of results.”

“So I think it was a crazy, crazy performance. I felt like I was so close to winning, but it is what it is.”

Verhoeven entered the fight as the main underdog against the undefeated unified heavyweight champion, but his physical pressure, size and willingness to trade caused Usyk to struggle during several early and middle rounds.

The performance immediately changed the discussion about Verhoeven’s future in boxing.

Rather than treat the fight as a one-off, the Dutch heavyweight later made it clear that he planned to continue boxing despite the defeat. His comments also reflected the fierceness of the fight before Usyk finally took control in the championship rounds and forced a stoppage.

For much of the fight, Verhoeven looked much more comfortable than many expected against one of boxing’s greatest champions.

Rico Verhoeven speaks out on referee stopping Usyk fight with one second left in the round

Rico Verhoeven commented on the controversial break in the match after the defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Verhoeven challenged heavyweight king Usyk at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, and despite most expecting a huge mismatch before the fight, the Dutchman came within a whisker of arguably the biggest upset in boxing history.

The kickboxing legend did enough to win multiple rounds heading into the final stages, with the underdog Usyk struggling to cope with his unconventional opponent.

Usyk finally found the shot he needed when he dropped his opponent at the end of the 11th round, and although Verhoeven managed to get up, the Ukrainian attacked again. led to referee Mark Lyson stopping the fight. Many fans – as well as Verhoevens’ team – were outraged by this decision.

After the fight, Verhoeven shared his thoughts on Lyson, who waved it off, saying he felt he deserved to fight longer.

“I thought it was an early break. It’s not up to me. I believe the referee knows we’re almost at the end of the round, whether he lets me go to the target or let the bell ring… it was close and I thought we were equal on the scorecards.”

Vehoeven was humble at the time when asked if he deserved a rematch.

“It’s not up to me, it’s up to the organization, let’s see what happens.”

It is unknown whether the second fight will actually take place, as the WBC has already ordered Usyk to face mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel next, under threat of being stripped of his belt.
