Hitchins announces the status of a “real master” after the detention of George Cambosos
Published

IBF Delicate Master Wyttereight Richardson Hitchins boasted today in social media, saying that he proved to be “A real master“After detaining a hand -selected opponent George Cambosos in the eighth round last Saturday evening.
Hitchins ‘true master’ claim
Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) believes that his victory over the former lightweight champion of three Cambosos strips (22-4, 10 KO) means that he proved that he proved One of the elites Fighters in sport. This fight was a disgust that should never have occurred.
“In boxing, they said that you are not a real master until you defend your title #truechampion,” said Richardson Hitchins X.
If defeating Cambosos is what is used to assess, whether the warrior has achieved status at the elite level, he does not say much about sport. He was a fighter down, fighting 1-4 recordStill living from victory for four years ago against Teofimo Lopez.
In order for Cambosos to be chosen for the title shot against Hitchins, he does not talk much about Master or his promoter for choosing him on more distinguished warriors, such as Gary Antuanne Russell and Subriel Matias. Russell defeated Hitchins four times in amateurs and calls him, but was ignored by Fresh Yorker.
Hitchins must be forced to go on a board, fighting Russell, Matias and Ernesto Mercado in this order. If he wins in one piece, he can boast that he is a “real champion” and achieved elite status.
The 140-Funt Gauntlet ignored
Cooking would be fine for Hitchins if he defeated the killers below:
- Gary Antuanne Russell
- Subriel Matias
- Jamaine Ortiz
- Keyshawn Davis
- Ernesto Mercado
- Oscar Duarte
- Isaac Cruz
Most of these fighters would easily beat Hitchins if they actually agreed to fight them. I don’t think he will ever fight with any of them for obvious reasons. This is a problem with warriors such as Hitchins. Their promoters maneuver them in registering global titles without a fight with nobody of high quality, and then, when they raise the belt, they throw themselves at winning and call on popular fighters that they are fighting for business.
After Hitchins’s victory, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez called over Cambosos. Haney is no longer fighting at 140. So, if this duel was to happen, Richardson would freeze his IBF welterweight title when he chooses to 147 to fight withdrawals. If he does, IBF should be dismantled by his featherlight welterweight title, because he is not fair for pretenders waiting in the queue for the title shot in the rankings.
All sanctioning bodies should have the rule that the heroes cannot rise up without giving up the titles. How can you have sport if the owners of belts like Hitchins, move when they like them, leaving their titles frozen and waiting for them when they come back?

Undercard Results
Featherweight Masood Abdulah (14-1, 8 KOs) scored two knockdowns to defeat Adan Palma (14-2) by an eight-round unanimous decision. The judges scored it 78-72, 77-73 and 76-74.
Abdulah dropped Palma with a short left hook in the opening minute, then used his jab and compact hooks to catch him coming forward. Palma fought his way back into the contest, landing heavy right hands in the fourth round that forced Abdulah to clinch.
A well-timed check left hook sent Palma down again in the sixth, slowing his attack and giving Abdulah more room to dictate the action. Abdulah worked behind his jab and continued finding the left hook over the final two rounds to secure the victory.
Vinnie Kemp (1-0, 1 KO) stopped Liam McElhinney (0-3) with a barrage of body shots at 2:33 of the opening round in their scheduled four-round middleweight bout. Making his professional debut, Kemp charged forward from the opening bell, throwing hard punches and goading McElhinney.
The referee briefly paused the action to warn Kemp about his verbals before allowing the fight to continue. Kemp resumed his attack, stalking McElhinney and driving punches into his midsection.
McElhinney bent forward and covered up against the ropes under the sustained body attack, prompting the referee to wave it off. Kemp’s aggression gave him a quick debut victory, although McElhinney offered little to test him.

Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyus Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News
Published

November 7, 2026
Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.
Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.
Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.
Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.
“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.
“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.
“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”
Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
