Hitchins (19-0, 7 ko) believes that the victory over the former unique champion in the lightweight category Cambosos will increase its popularity in the boxing world. George (21-1, 13 ko) head is against Daud Yordan on March 22 in Sydney, Australia.
Richardson goes out in a 12 -round division, winning the IBF Light Welterweight Champion Liama Paro last December. That impressive performance may have scared the top 140 pounds, but not Cambosos. He is fearless and wants to fight Hitchin for his IBF belt because he feels he can win.
Ready for smoke
“This is the King of Division of £ 140. Nobody wants to mention the name Richardson Hitchins. You have seen Teofimo Lopez and Barboza. We were ready to fight Theophim, but next week there is a big show. He is peeled with our eyes. Dazn box About what Richardson Hitchins was Type 1 1 in Light Welterweight.
Remember the name. You know the name, but remember the name. This is the future here. “
Hitchins hoped to face the champion WBO Light Welterweight Theophimo Lopez in the fight for unification, but instead decided to defend himself against his mandatory Arnold Barboz Jr. -a on the card 2. May at Times Square, New York.
Richardson still wants to face Teo after his schedule is opened. He signed a contract with Turki Alalshikh, who will occupy it until next year. Hitchins will probably have to wait until then to shoot him.
Targeting Cambosos
“I think Cambosos is perfect. He has acknowledgment, name and represents Australia as brilliant as a fighter,” Hitchins said of the former unique champion George Cambosos Jr. “I think for his legacy, he adds a lot to show that I belong to Haneys, Lomachenkos and bigger names in boxing.
“I feel like I was a little lagging, but getting a win over George Cambosos would be special to add my name to sports boxing. I feel like me and Theophimo the best fight in a division of 140 pounds. I wanted to quarrel next, but we couldn’t do it. I will do what I have to do in my next fight at 140, “Hitchins said.
