Richardson Hitchins explains the exit of the match: Why free agency is its ‘best business housing’

Richardson Hitchins says his decision to leave Eddie Hearn’s match room was a ‘business’ decision. He looks out at what is “The best for me.”

Turki’s potential roll

Hitchins want Turki Alalshikh to deliver him the fighting he asked against Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez. IBF 140-Pond Champion Hitchins (20-0, 8 COs) just want those fights; He feels that Turki is a free agent for him now.

Fans feel that Hitchins have avoided the talented fighters at 140, Subriel Matias, Ernesto Mercado and Gary Antuanne Russell because he knows he will lose. Instead, he likes to fight guys like George Kambosos jr. And Liam paro.

If Turki Richardson signs on a small contract, he must insist that he fight Mercado, Matias and Russell in that order, rather than giving him the battles he asks for against Haney and Theofimo. He should not be allowed to choose and choose and choose his opponents.

“Eddie and I talked to the fight behind closed doors. Everything is on the table now,” Richardson Hitchins said Boxing King Media about him as a free agent after ending his contract with Matchroom with his victory over George Kambosos Jr. On June 14.

Berlanga’s influence

Hitchins are managed by Keith Connolly, the same man who works with Edgar Berlanga. He also recently left the match room after his contract expired and received a big money card on the 12th card from Turki Alalshikh.

So the idea is that Hitchins probably hope Turki will sign him with a profitable multi-fighting deal worth millions, and he will get the fighting for which he has done away from Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez.

He seems to think that it is the one who will make him in a star. Hitchins’ fighting style is similar to Shakur Stevenson, and not the type enjoyed by the majority of American follower. He is a runner -up when he faces opposition with power. In his last fight he did not run because he was linked to light-hitter George Kambosos Jr.

“I love Eddie Hearn. The relationship I had with the match room was wonderful. They were fair to me, and all I asked them was an opportunity to prove that I was one of the best in the world,” Hitchins said. “They gave me that. All I can ever do is thank them for it. ‘

Without Hearn, hitchins do not have many options. The big fights he wants against Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez have no chance to happen. Hitchins seems to think that by following the footsteps of Edgar Berlanga in leaving the match, it will lead to Turki Alalshikh signing him as he did with Berlanga. The agreement fell back.

Hitchins’ business housing

‘It’s business. I have to do what’s best for me. Of course, I like the relationship with Eddie Hearn, “Hitchins said he was a free agent.” I would like to work with Eddie Hearn in the future. He has always been fair to me. That’s what it is. We will see what the future holds, as far as I and Eddie work together, Turki (Alalshikh) put something together. “

We’ve heard that Turki won’t work with Hitchins unless Eddie Hearn is involved. So Richardson made a mistake with a big announcement of his free agency after his final battle under his contract with the match room after his fighting title defense against George Kambosos Jr. He should have shown loyalty.

“I’m here, I’m (an IBF Light Welterweight) champion, I’m unbeaten. I want the biggest battles. I bring a lot to the table as far as me and my name. I am one of the best fighters in the world. Not just America. As soon as I walk into the ring, these guys are going to see that I’m a true master, ‘says Hitchins.

Theofimo Lopez and Devin Haney are the only two fights Richardson wants. None of the two have any chance to happen unless Turki Alalshikh offers them big money. In The Aofimo’s case, even though Turki offers him a massive wallet, it does not guarantee that he will agree to a fight against Hitchins.

Haney’s value as an opponent for Hitchins can fall after nothing if he is blown out by WBO swelling champion Brian Norman Jr. on November 22. Fans won’t be excited to see Haney and Hitchins fight afterwards.

Unlikely opponents

• Ernesto Mercado
• Subriel Matias
• Gary Antuanne Russell
• Alberto Puello
• Keyshawn Davis.

Hitchins have no interest in fighting. It is all risky fights for him that he can lose, or take a lot of punishment in winning. Richardson does not handle the pressure well and tends to run when attacked.
