Richardson Hitchins‘ ascendancy is in full swing, and he is already looking at the next big step—a clash with a bigger name. The Brooklyn native who flew under the radar but made his mark every time, is now in a prime spot in the limelight. So, who is next for him? It seems he has zeroed in on George Kambosos Jr. and has already added fuel to their long-standing rivalry.

Hitchins, 27, seized headlines when he clinched the IBF super lightweight title from Liam Paro and positioned himself for future bigger fights and bigger opponents. He wasted no time in calling out Kambosos Jr., 31, when he turned to his X handle and declared, “@georgekambosos I’m waiting for you in Nyc You B-m.”

This call-out caught the Australian boxer’s attention, who promptly responded and reminded the newly crowned champion of his exploits in New York City. In addition, he slammed Hitchins, at 19-0, for a “boring” fighting style, drawing a parallel with Devin Haney. The fans saw Hitchins defeat Paro in a fight, where he started slowly and then picked up the pace.

Kambosos Jr. wrote, “🤣🤣 congrats mate on your biggest day your thinking of me HAHAHA I knew you would you miserable dork 🫠 rent free in your little brain now you can pay your rent. Bruh your boring as f–k let’s be serious, your like the wish version of Dev. Loved the running last night, stand and fight haha yea right 🤦🏻‍♂… So enjoy it, I’ve seen this scenario before. See you soon then 🤝📝”

Hitchins had a jibe in the store ready for him and then pressed for the ultimate question—whether Kambosos Jr., who has the moniker ‘The Emperor,’ was ready for a fight. Notably, Kambosos Jr. is 1-3 in his last four fights, indicating his rapid decline. He hit back, “Do you want to fight Or naw I’m trynna see something right quick.” It seems the former unified lightweight champion is not ready to back down.

Richardson Hitchins vs. George Kambosos Jr. is on

Kambosos Jr. in his reply, expressed his desire to take away Hutchins’ title and announced, “The answer is YES YES YES. Like taking more candy from another big mouth New Yorker baby. You should be trying enjoy the moment… RENT FREE BABYYYYYY! It’s on 📝🤝 don’t go back on your word.”

This hypothetical fight, if it materializes, will test Hitchins’ ability and boxing prowess against a future Hall of Famer. But what if the two don’t end up meeting inside the ring? Then fans could focus on Hitchins’ immediate words after he became a world champion. He targeted a fight with Teofimo Lopez, who is the current WBO champion. Hitchins’ agenda for 2025 is clear, and the fans could expect some high-voltage fights for him.
