George Kambosos jr. Challenge the IBF Light Welterweight Champion Richardson Hitchins for its belt on June 14 in Madison Square Garden in the theater in New York.
Another chance
This is a quick title for ‘The Emperor’ Kambosos (22-3, 10 COs) after winning his debut at 140 last month, beating Jake Wyllie, the substitute opponent, on March 22.
Kambosos, 31, looked awful and worked to carry the non-approved wyllie by a closer than expected decision. Last year on May 12, George was knocked out by Vasily Lomachenko in the 11th round in a failed attempt to win the vacant IBF lightweight title. Now Kambosos gets another chance. Some people get all the opportunities.
The ring reports That Hitchins will defend next against former three-belt lightweight champion Kambosos jr. This is a fight that the match -promoted Hitchins, 27, asked, because that’s the best he can get.
None of the top names at 140 want to fight Richardson because his fighting style combines a vintage floyd mayweather jr. And Shakur Stevenson.
He has those elements, but with the power of a welter weight. Hitchins can do it all, but he doesn’t have the popularity to attract fighters to take the risk of fighting against him. As such, he is stuck with Kambosos.
Emperor’s ambition
It will be almost impossible for Kambosos to win this battle without being happy with a ko puns. Hitchins are too skilled and almost impossible to hit. All George has ever been is a one-hit wonder once happy with an upset victory over an unmotivated, ring-giants, injured Theofimo Lopez four years ago in 2021.
Kambosos transferred the victory in a fortune, earned millions and now gave him opportunities years later. It shows you the importance of what one victory can do for a fighter’s career and livelihood.
It is difficult to understand how Kambosos jr. Opportunities for major fights with excellent pay days after losing his united lightweight title through a one-sided 12-round decision to Devin Haney in their first fight on June 5, 2022. Since then, Kambosos jr.
