IBF Light Welterweight Champion Richardson Hitchins (20-0, 8 COs) says he wants to follow Theofimo Lopez of Devin Haney following his eighth round TKO victory over played Shell George Kambosos Jr. (22-4, 10 COs) Saturday night at the theater in Madison Square Garden in New York.
Lopez, Haney next for Hitchins?
Hitchins think He arrived in SuperStardom After beating the one-hit Wonder Kambosos, that is not the reality. He is just seen as a man who chose Kambosos for an easy victory and avoided his IBF mandatory, Subriel Matias and Gary Antuanne Russell. In other words, two fighters who can hit him.
It is unclear whether Theofimo and Haney would expect Turki Alalshikh to finance a battle with Hitchins, because without having to get the money, they probably won’t get the big $ 10 million wallets they received for their recent setting fights on May 2 at Times Square in New York. If Teo and Devin notice that they will not get $ 10 million to fight Hitchins, they will walk away.
Financial barriers to Hitchins fights
Theofimo and Haney will not be happy to get a $ 2 million wallet because Turki is not involved. Hitchins are not a PPV star, and a fight between him and Lopez or Haney will not be a PPV-worthy battle. The promoters can post it Dazn ppvBut it will not bring in large numbers because Hitchins, Haney and Lopez are not proven PPV fighters/
‘Theofimo Lopez. One of them, ‘said Richardson Hitchins at the Press conference after battle When asked who he prefers to fight next between Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez after his knockout victory on Saturday night over George Kambosos Jr.
You can understand why Devin and Lopez want to fight Hitchins next, to the way he watched Kambosos tonight. Despite winning an eighth round TKO over Kambosos, Hitchins seemed very defeatable and not impressive. Lightweight, Andy Cruz, would have aroused hitchins if he was in the ring. Cruz is nowhere close to the same size as hitchins, but he would have beaten him.
“With me, my attitude, my charisma, my flamboyance and what I bring to the table,” Hitchins says and praises himself. “People hate me, but they’re going to watch me. Boxing needs someone like me and someone like theofimo. So, we are both for a wonderful build -up. We are both young and in our lead.
“I think it will be dope, and it’s a storyline behind it. It’s a big fight, and Devin Haney and I are also a big fight,” says Hitchins.
