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.

It has been announced that Anthony Joshua’s opponent is set to return from his year-end fight with Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua’s comeback opponent announced as Tyson Fury fight agreed for end of year

Anthony Joshua’s next opponent has been revealed ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury scheduled for later this year.

Joshua and Fury have been on a collision course for almost a decade and it seemed their fight would finally be confirmed after “The Gypsy King” defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London earlier this month.

An exchange with Joshua then ensued, but ‘AJ’ stood his ground when his team insisted there would likely be a warm-up fight before facing Fury.

Joshua’s last fight was in December when he defeated YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, but before that his last fight against a legal opponent was in September 2024 when he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in an IBF heavyweight title fight.

“AJ” was also involved in a tragic car accident just weeks after his fight with Paul, which sadly claimed the lives of two of his close friends, so it is clear why he preferred the next fight to be a warm-up to best prepare for Fury.

A warm-up opponent has now been confirmed following the announcement that Joshua will face relatively unknown Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.

Prenga has a 100% knockout record and all 20 of his wins have come within the distance, but the type of opponents he has faced throughout his career are at a level below Joshua’s.

In 2017, in his fifth professional fight, he suffered a 1-2 loss to opponent Giovanni Auriemma, but since then he has won all 16 fights, the last one coming in February, when he knocked out Joe Jones in the first round 16-14-1.

Nevertheless, Joshua is expected to win comfortably before he begins preparing for his long-awaited showdown with Fury, although it has now been reported that ‘The Gypsy King’ could have another warm-up fight of his own.

Image: Sergei Gorokhov KO Overturned After Ring Invasion in Turkey

Gorokhov (16-11-2) had already done damage with large shots, finishing Kalkan (7-0, 4 KO) with a spotless knockout that forced the referee to wave his hand. The task has been completed.

After being detained, Gorokhov walked to the opposite corner, where a fight began. That was enough. The cornermen ran inside, the voices became piercing, followed by punches. Within seconds, many people entered the ring.

The situation got out of the referee’s control. The horns could not be separated. Once the non-fighters make it through the ropes, the result will be written in the record books.

The footage showed flying chairs and people trading on ropes as security tried to take control of the situation. The recording shows objects thrown near the ropes. The announcements to stop the fight didn’t change anything. The ring is already gone.

The sanctioning authority has confined powers and the ruling follows standard procedure. When the ropes are broken and extra hands are involved, the score cannot stand and is removed from the scoresheet.

An investigation is ongoing and suspensions and penalties are expected once reports are submitted. The verdict now comes from the officials, not the blows that ended it.

Kalkan keeps his undefeated record in the books. Gorokhov leaves without the victory he earned. Disciplinary action is expected following the investigation.

Oleksandr Usyk told that he ‘cannot run’ from newly emerged title contender: “I’ll bully him”

Although Oleksandr Usyk presented his three-fight plan, a recent challenger entered the fight with hopes of taking a shot at the Ukrainian and winning the unified world heavyweight titles.

Next month’s meeting with Dutch kickboxer Rico Verhoeven kicks off what Usyk envisioned as a series of three hand-picked fights before his planned retirement in 2027, with his next dance partner being the winner of Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois.

However, the WBC is expected to demand that Usyk fight mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel in his next fight, and promoter Frank Warren believes he will be stripped of his belt if he fails to face the undefeated German.

Meanwhile, the WBA and IBF titles are not on the line against Verhoeven, which has fight fans wondering whether Usyk could soon be stripped of those belts as well.

Although if Usyk defends the WBA crown, Jarrell Miller will be waiting for him after him on Saturday evening he defeated Lenier Pero in the WBA eliminator final rise to title contention.

I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV after “Gigantic Baby” won, he told Usyk that there was nowhere to run or hide when fighting him.

“He’s a great fighter, man, but when you’re fighting a bully like me, there’s nowhere to run or hide. Usyk doesn’t really have crazy punching power, and he has trouble with guys who punch to the body and throw a lot of punches.”

This performance [against Pero] it was just a taste of what I could do. So the most essential thing is to go back and get the drawing board back. Let’s work and be ready for everyone.

I want Usyk to come back after the Rico fight and I can spank him.

If Usyk loses the WBA title, Miller could find himself in line for a title fight with current WBA Regular titleholder Murat Gassiew, who expected to be promoted to full champion. Although Moses Itauma would probably get the first shot at the proposed scrap with the Russian.
