Hearn on Hitchins’ Victory: “Time for Big Fights”

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn shared his reaction to Richardson Hitchins’ (20-0, 8 KOs) dominant win over Australia’s George Kambosos (22-4, 10 KOs) in New York.

“Fantastic performance. George is a real warrior, but that’s exactly what we wanted to see from Rich — not just dominating, but stepping on the gas. In the past, he would take it to 12 rounds. This time, he came out, dominated, and finished the job — a brilliant performance.

That’s the kind of statement he needed to make to be in the conversation with the likes of Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney. The atmosphere was amazing tonight, and the performance from this young American champion was outstanding. Now it’s time for big fights,” said Hearn.

Hitchins secured a technical knockout in the eighth round. Full fight stats are available via the link.
