After representing Haiti’s native country in the 2016 Olympic Games, Richardson Hitchins became a professional the following year when he signed a contract with Mayweather Promotions. Five years of his professional career Hitchins felt that a change was needed because he decided to conclude a contract with Eddie Hearn and a match box.
Hitchins remained lively and, as a member of his novel promotional company, gathered four quick wins. On December 7, 2024, Richardson Hitchins went to San Juan in Puerto Rico to transform one of his dreams into reality.
In his match with the defending champion Liam Paro Hitchins took control in the middle of the fight. At the end of the 12-round competition, one judge fired a fight in favor of Paro, but the results card was lifted by the other two judges who both fired 116-112 in favor of Hitchins.
With victory in a fraction of the mining, Richardson Hitchins became the novel world champion in the Super Lightweight in IBF. Now on his hometown of the land, Hitchins aims to defend the first title of the world against a man who is accustomed to playing the role of a spoiler.
In November 2021, George Cambosos Jr had previously moved into the mainstream when he upset Teofimo Lopez through the Decyision weave and won a united world title. Coming from Sydney, Australia, he would defend his title at home and suffered losses for Devin Haney.
Cambosos would put another fight with a well -known opponent, but unfortunately for him he was detained by Vasiliy Lomachenko in the 11th round. Cambosos returned, winning a unanimous victory of a decision on a colleague with Aussie Boxer Jake Wyllie.

Challenger, George Cambosos, is shaky to defend, but has a solid stab, rapid hands and a good combination variety. Cambosos is able to push forward and fight the leading foot, but it is most effective when it is in counteracting mode.
During the last press conference, Hitchins and Cambosos were to deal with, but the press conference slipped out of control and ended suddenly. Both boxers had heated verbal exchanges, and the temperament intensified when Hitchins tried to lure Cambosos in the plant when he pulled $ 50,000 in cash.
27-year-old Richardson Hitchins is a favorite of 7-1, but he fights a man who is very comfortable in the role of weaker. Cambosos has a record (2-0) at MSG, and when he fights Hitchins on Saturday evening, he is convinced that he will win number three.

Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.
Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
