Richardson Hitchins defends the unpopular fight George Cambosos Jr., aimed at increasing the fading of the former master before the June clash

Richardson Hitchins, a airy champion of IBF Lithe Waiter in weight, works tough to enhance George Cambosos Jr., reminding fans of his previous achievements to create a noise during their June 14 fight in the theater in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. The event will be shown live in Dazn.
The fans were largely critics of this fight, perceived Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) as manually choosing the disappearing united airy champion Cambosos (22-3, 10 KO), who fights the record with the record of 2-3 in his five fights. For this reason, he is 100% unworthy of the title shot and he fought only once since she moved to 140. It was against the warrior of the second level Jake Wyllie.
Justification for the choice of Cambosos struggle
Hitchins claims that the victory against Cambosos will “strengthen” his name in the world of boxing. Sounds naive. Cambosos will do nothing for Hitchins. It was better to give Liam Paro a rematch or fight Oscar Duarte, Sandor Martin or Subriel Matias.
“Cambosos cannot be overlooked. Everyone wanted to see me and Teofimo Lopez. We couldn’t get it. He had a duty. They decided to go this way,” said Richardson Hitchins Sports media YSM When asked why he chose George Cambosos Jr. on the next opponent. “Why not get a guy who defeated Teofimo Lopez? Cambosos. He is a former unquestionable master [Correction: Kambosos is a former three-belt unified lightweight champion]. “
It was a mistake for Hitchins to take this fight with Cambosos Jr., because it is perceived as a joke, and people criticize him for the fight. Hitchins would be better to fight the best possible pretender if he couldn’t get a unification fight. Cambosos is not the best available pretender. He fought only once from the time he moved to 140, and this was against a lower level warrior, Jake Wyllie.
“He never lost anyone but guys who are at the top of boxing. He also had a great win over Teofimo Lopez. It’s a fight to prove himself,” said Hitchins about Cambosos. “Liam Paro was supposed to beat me. Then they were supposed to have Liam Paro and George Cambosos in Australia. I broke their plans.”
For Richardson, he will not work to build Cambosos so that fans give him more recognition for taking this fight. People already perceive Cambosos as one hit with mediocre ability. He lost three of the last five fights, and his only wins from 2022 appeared against Maxi Hughes and Jak Whyllie.
Hitchins’ faith in Cambosos wins
“When Richardson Hitchins is fighting Cambosos, I am [cherry] gathering. It’s boxing. George Cambosos is a substantial name. It is a step closer to fixing my name in boxing sport. The guys say, “Get Subriel Matias.” I know that Matias brings a threat, but I don’t think Matias will fight anyone close to my level, “said Hitchins. “All substantial names in 140 and so went to 147. So why not. I do not want to keep IBF and continue the 10-pound hydration clause.”
When complaining that Hitchins is doing the rehydration of IBF, he should simply drop the belt and get up. He may regret it if he fights the unification match with WBA champion Gary Antuanne Russell or WBC master Alberto Puello. Russell probably defeated him, and Puello would be a substantial problem for him.
“Liam Paro defeated Matias easily. If we can’t get Teofimo, I come to Subriel Matias and want to make his work easier and close everyone. After that I don’t want to hear criticism. If we are not able to commit a great fight, we will go to 147 and see what is happening,” said Hitchins.
Richardson should permanently forget about Teofimo Lopez, because this will never happen. Teo focuses only on the fight for money and will not want to take a risky, low -paid fight with Hitchins when he can earn a lot of money fighting Jaron Ennis, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney. Hitchins should drop his IBF belt and move to 147 and hope that Turks Alalshikh will draw his attention to start fighting with one of these guys.
The chances that Hitchins is fighting Matias are tiny, unless he is open to the idea of fighting him, losing to the WBC Lithe Welter Welter Welter Welter Welter in Alberto Puello. These two are fighting on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium at Queens, Novel York. Matias can lose this fight.
Potential future opponents in 147
“There are many options on the table after George Cambosos. If I can’t find any substantial fights at 140, I will drop the belt and try to get another title shot [at 147]. These are fights that make sense to me, “said Hitchins, when he asked if he would like to fight Haney and Rolando Romero at the age of 147. I hope I can get a chance against Ryan Garcia. I just want to show that Richardson Hitchins is one of the best fighters in boxing sports, “said Hitchins.
Hitchins should start thinking about leaving his title IBF 140-Funt after defense against Cambosos Jr. June 14 and transfer to 147. There are no substantial fights at 140. His dream of the fight against Teofimo Lopez is completely hopeless. It never happens and seems stupid who is favorable for it.
“If I can’t unite at the age of 140, I don’t want to do IBF any further [10-lb rehydration] rule.
3 invincible fights in just over a year.
He defeated the invincible world champion freshly after the biggest win in his career – pulling out Boogeyman.
Then he takes off the fourth world champion in my CV – everything in less than 20 fights.I am him! 😤

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.

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.
