Description

Richardson Hitchins ended last year with an impressive split-decision victory over a previously unbeaten Liam Paro to become the new IBF super lightweight world champion.

Now, the 27-year-old gets to make his first title defense in a homecoming fight when he puts the strap on the line against former unified lightweight world champion George Kambosos Jr at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and live worldwide on DAZN, on Saturday night.

Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) proved that he was levels above Paro in December and will look to defeat another Australian fighter to collect his 20th pro victory.

Meanwhile, Kambosos (22-3, 10 KOs) will aim to build on his unanimous decision over Jake Wyllie in March and get back to boxing’s mountaintop as his window of opportunity to once again become a world champion is waning.
