Originally, George Kambosos Jr. was set to square off against Daud Yordan, but fate had other plans. Yordan, a 37-year-old former world title challenger, pushed himself too hard in training and ended up hospitalized for three days due to exhaustion. That left The Ferocious scrambling for a new opponent, and in stepped 24-year-old Jake Wyllie on short notice. It was a classic case of being thrown into the deep end. Despite his youth giving him an edge in speed and power, Wyllie simply didn’t have enough time to prepare. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, he stood his ground and went the full 12 rounds against the battle-tested 22-3, 10 KO boxer.

“What a war,” Wyllie said, grinning. “I loved every minute of it. I only accepted the fight on Sunday and I hope I won the hearts of many people tonight.” And let’s be honest. He certainly did. His grit and determination made him a fighter to watch, even in defeat. But with that chapter closed, the real question is: What’s next for George Kambosos Jr.? Enter Eddie Hearn. The Matchroom boss saw an opportunity and wasted no time seizing it.

Big dreams, bigger fights: George Kambosos Jr. aims for title run

Yesterday, Everything Boxing dropped a bombshell on X. “🚨 HITCHINS-KAMBOSOS NEXT! ✅ Eddie Hearn has said that they have a date for the Richardson Hitchins-George Kambosos IBF super lightweight world title fight.🤝 If Kambosos is ready for that date and agrees a deal, the fight is on,” the caption read.

Honestly, this fight just makes sense. After grabbing the IBF title from Liam Paro last December in Coliseo Roberto Clemente, San Juan, the 19-0, 7 KO boxer might be running it back with another Aussie. Naturally, Kambosos’ team would love to have the fight in Australia—the crowd, the money, all of it would be huge. But let’s be real, the 31-year-old has never been the type to stay in his comfort zone. The guy has walked straight into enemy territory before, and he’ll do it again if needed.

And logistically? This fight should be easy to make. Both guys are under Matchroom Boxing, so there aren’t any major roadblocks. Plus, Kambosos is somehow ranked No. 3 by the IBF, even though he hasn’t actually fought in the division yet. Yeah, it’s pretty obvious where this is going.

Now, Kambosos is feeling extra confident after his unanimous decision win over Jake Wyllie. He truly believes he can take down Hitchins. But here’s the thing—he barely got past Wyllie, a last-minute replacement with zero real prep time. And Hitchins? That guy is undefeated, or as Kambosos calls him, “Shit-chins.” Yeah, he’s already throwing shade.

“Shit-Chins” it is? Kambosos fires shots at Hitchins 

At 31, George Kambosos Jr. is still chasing history, aiming to become a two-division world champ. And he’s not shy about how he thinks this fight will go.

“Shit-chins is a tip-tap, running kind of guy. If he comes and brings a brawl, better for me, but I know he’ll run,” Kambosos said after the win in the ring. He said he’s ready to go “all in.” He wants Eddie Hearn to set up the fight, and he’s daring Hitchins to go toe-to-toe with him.

But let’s be real—can Kambosos actually pull this off? Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) is younger, fresher, and slick with his defense. He’s not the type to get dragged into a firefight, which could make things frustrating for a guy like Kambosos, who loves a dogfight.

So, what do you think? Does George Kambosos have one more big upset in him? Or will the young, undefeated Hitchins make him eat his words? Do share your thoughts with us below.
