Richardson Hitchins finishes George Kambosos Jr via TKO

Richardson Hitchins showed up in a big way at Madison Square Garden last night as he finished George Kambosos Jr before calling for a big fight against Teofimo Lopez or Devin Haney.

Heading into this contest, George Kambosos Jr was more than happy to build this contest with a fair amount of trash talk. Richardson Hitchins largely stayed away from it and focused on his game, and as it turns out, that was the best thing he could’ve done. He looked great at various points throughout the fight, eventually securing the finish in the eighth round of the fight.

Richardson Hitchins has been on the rise for quite some time now. He’s young, he’s exciting, and he knows what he has to do in order to win. He made sure to shut up the masses who were doubting him and now, it’s time to look ahead to what else could be on the horizon for him.

After the fight came to an end, Richardson Hitchins made it crystal clear who he wants to face next – and given what he’s just done, we’d say he has a pretty good chance of getting his request approved.

Richardson Hitchins looks ahead

“Teofimo Lopez. Either one of them,” said Richardson Hitchins at the post-fight press conference when asked who he preferred to fight next between Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez after his knockout win over George Kambosos Jr. on Saturday night.

“With me, my attitude, my charisma, my flamboyance, and what I bring to the table,” said Hitchins, praising himself. “People hate me, but they’re going to watch me. Boxing needs somebody like me and somebody like Teofimo, crazy. So, both of us, it’ll go for a great build-up. We’re both young and in our prime. 

“I think it’ll be dope, and it’s a storyline behind it. It’s a big fight, and me and Devin Haney is also a big fight,” said Hitchins.
