Richardson Hitchins still says that his goal is Teofimo Lopez at the age of 140, and if he can’t get him, he moves and follows Devin Haney. He thinks that these are fights that will turn him into a star overnight. That’s why Hitchins wants to fight them immediately.
Hitchins now wants vast fights
Unlike Teofimo and Haney, who won their place, defeating Vasily Lomachenko, Hitchins does not believe that he has to do it. Just beating George Cambosos Jr. It was enough in his mind.
Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) IBF Delicate Welter Wweight wants vast fights right away. He believes that his victory over Cambosos Jr. He puts him able to fight Teofimo and Haney. However, none of these guys mentioned the desire to fight him. Hitchins’ fighting style is too uninteresting; It moves too much and connects all the time. Teofimo and Haney don’t want to fight such guys.
Richardson put the cart in front of the horse when it comes to the attempts of great fights before he built as the first, going to the killers. This is a idle approach that we see from fighters who want to fight for huge money right away and do not want to earn on their own skin.
Hitchins must fight pretenders
Driving from Brooklyn, Modern York, Hitchins does not want to fight Ernesto Mercado, Gary Antuanne Russell, Subriel Matias or Alberto Puello. 27 -year -old Richardson wants great fights without having to work for them. In addition to his reluctance to fight construction, Hitchins shot himself at the foot, choosing re -signing with Eddie Hearn. He announced to fans and media that he was a free agent after the victory over Cambosos Jr. June 14.
Hitchins assumed that his services would be crazy. It did not happen and is a stupid move that failed because he looked like a betrayal on his part. He also did not realize that his combat style was not attractive enough to make him a free agent.
“Yes, I would go to 147 and I would aim at Devin Haney. It makes sense. I and he have a story. He is not a huge blow and he is a guy who is fresh from 140,” said Richardson Hitchins to Chris Mannix canal. “This is not too much regulation, I have to do from 140.
Teofimo Lopez is unlikely to fight
Hitchins must now go to 147. If he is not going to fight Matias, Mercado or Russell, he will not augment his popularity by choosing cherry of washed guys. Teofimo will never fight him. He should have already understood this.
“It would make my name in boxing to get such a great win. I would also beat him and it would make sense,” said Hitchins. “When I go to 147, I want Devin Haney, Brian Norman and Mario Barrios. I feel that I am now one of the best fighters in sport. He is [Haney] Not better than me. “
So Hitchins wants great fights for 147 without having to work for him. Again, he has a sense of permissions, believing that he should take great fights without working on them as other fighters do.
Hitchins’ path to great fights
If he lifts up, he must fight the best pretenders to win his place, and don’t expect him to be handed over to him only because he was a champion of paper at the age of 140. Hitchins should fight these pretenders in welterweight to get the fight against Haney, Norman Jr. and Barrios:
Rohan Polanco
Shakhram Giyasov
Karen Chukhadzhian
Jack Cattell
Raul Curiel
“We have an eye on Teofimo Lopez, especially with the fact that we have the same manager, Keith Connolly,” said Hitchins. “Shakur tried to come from nowhere and try to interfere. He tries to fight Teofimo. There is no clear direction where we can go further, but Teofimo Lopez is a fight that, I think, we can happen.”
It doesn’t matter that Hitchins and Teofimo divide the same manager. Teo will still not fight him because there is no money in it, and he has this antique fight style not involving Mayweather. Hitchins fights too similar to him and Shakur Stevenson so that Lopez wants to bless him with a fight and he must chase him.
“It’s a fantasy fight for me. Two Modern York guys. I hope we can do it on Brooklyn. I think it will be a great event. When my personality and his personality are approaching, it will be a great fight,” said Hitchins.
Eddie Hearn has admitted that the long-awaited clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could be renegotiated, depending on the demands of paymaster Turki Alalshikha.
As of now, both British heavyweights will face each other later this year, provided they complete their warm-up fights.
While Fury’s fight has not yet been announced, it has been confirmed that Joshua will face Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
“The Gypsy King” is expected to have a hard-fought fight in August, potentially against Nelson Hysa, following his April unanimous decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov.
If all goes to plan, ‘AJ’ and Fury should meet in the UK, although Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn revealed the location could be renegotiated.
Furthermore, White also suggested that Joshua’s promoter Hearn has not yet been informed of the location, seemingly suggesting that the fight could take place in America.
In response, Hearn said IFL Television that this turn of events will have to be renegotiated and spelled out in both Joshua and Fury’s contracts.
“Without AJ’s consent, the fight cannot take place anywhere outside the UK. And there was no such consent.
“If there is a renegotiation and we want to make a deal again, I am sure we will consider it. [But] apart from money, we want this fight in the UK.
“We will act accordingly and will hold talks with Turki Alalshikh if asked, but who really wants to watch this fight at 4am UK time?”
Given that the pair are most likely to perform in November, when British weather for stadium shows is unpredictable at best, fans may need to prepare for an event in the United States or even Saudi Arabia.
Fury attended the UFC Freedom 250 festivities in Washington, D.C., where he hinted that UFC president Dana White would soon reveal details about the major event.
“I think I’ll let Dana make his speech. I’ll let him make his statement,” Fury said. “So let’s hope it’s a huge, huge, huge announcement.”
When asked specifically about Joshua, Fury made it clear that this fight remains deeply in his mind.
“I’m very, very, very excited about this fight,” Fury said. “This took over a decade to create. For some reason it hasn’t happened before. Let’s hope it happens now.”
Fury then outlined a schedule that could liven up the heavyweight showdown.
“Potential fight in August and maybe at the end of the year it will happen.”
The former heavyweight champion was also asked if Dana White would be willing to make a promotional commitment to a future fight with Joshua.
“For sure. Yes.”
Any lingering doubts as to what Fury was referring to disappeared when Turki Alalshikh posted a message addressed to the British heavyweight shortly afterwards.
“Hello my brother @tysonfury, welcome back to America. Huge announcement coming for your fight against @anthonyjoshua @ringmagazine @netflix.”
Turki’s post appears to confirm that an official announcement regarding Fury and Joshua is on the horizon, with Dana White expected to play a role in the promotion.
Fury declined to provide information about his expected August opponent, although his comments indicate he intends to return to the ring before fighting Joshua later this year.
“I don’t have any details about the fight, but I’m looking forward to fighting whoever is in front of me and getting back to doing what I do best, which is winning.”
The possibility that Fury and Joshua would finally split in the ring has hung over boxing for more than a decade. Both men were world champions, headlined stadium events and became two of Britain’s biggest sporting attractions without ever having met.
Now, after Fury’s appearance at the White House and Turki’s public statement, fans may finally have reason to believe that the biggest British heavyweight boxing fight is closer than ever.
