Richardson Hitchens explains the exit of the matchroom: Why Free Agency is his “best business move”

Richardson Hitchens says his decision to leave Eddie Hearn’s matchroom was a “business” decision. What he’s looking for “It’s perfect for me.”

The Potential Role of Torki

Hitchens wants Turki Aralsif to tell him about his battle with Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez. The IBF 140 pound champion Hitchens (20-0, 8 KOs) want only those fights. He now feels that Torki will give him them because he is a free agent.

Fans feel that the Hitchens are escaping the talented fighters Sabriel Mattias, Ernesto Mercado and Gary Anchanne Russell at the 140. Instead, he can fight people like George Cambosos Jr. and Liam Paro.

If Tulki signs a small contract with Richardson, he should insist that Mercado, Mattias and Russell fight in that order, rather than giving him a fight with Haney and Theofimo. He should not be allowed to lay ducks and choose his enemies.

“Me and Eddie spoke after the fight behind closed doors. Now it’s all on the table,” Richardson Hitchens said. Boxing King Media About him being a free agent after he finished his contract with Matchroom on June 14th with a victory over George Cambosos Jr.

The influence of Berlanga

The Hitchens are managed by Keith Connolly, the same man who works with Edgar Berlanga. He too left Matchroom recently after his contract expired and won a big buck in the headline of Turki Aralsiv’s July 12 card.

So, Hitchens is likely to want Tulki to sign him in millions of lucrative multi-fight deals. He will get the fight he pinned for Devin Honey and Theofimo Lopez.

He seems to think they turn him into a star. Hitchens’ fighting style is similar to that of Shakur Stephenson, not the type that most American fanbase sees. He is a runner when he faces opposition to power. In his final battle, he did not run as he coincided with light hitter George Cambosos Jr.

“I love Eddie Hearn. My relationship with Matchroom was great. They were fair to me. All I asked them was the opportunity to prove I was one of the best people in the world,” Hitchens said. “They gave it to me. All I can do is to thank them forever.”

Without Hearn, Hitchens doesn’t have many options. The big fight he hopes for against Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez doesn’t have the opportunity to happen. Hitchens appears to believe that following in the footsteps of Edgar Berlanga when he leaves the matchroom will lead to Turki Aralsif signing him, just like Berlanga. The contract has regained a great deal of time.

Hitchens’ Business Moves

“It’s business. I have to do what’s best for me.. Of course, I love my relationship with Eddie Hearn,” Hitchens said of his free agent. He has always been fair to me. that’s reality. As long as I and Eddie work together, as long as I and Tulki (Aralshiv) put together something, we’ll see what the future holds. ”

I’ve already heard that Tulki won’t work with the Hitchens unless Eddie Hearn is involved. So Richardson committed a big announcement of his free agency following his final fight based on a contract with Matchroom after the title defense of the fight against George Cambosos Jr. He should have shown loyalty.

“I’m here, I’m the (IBF light welterweight) champion, I’m undefeated. I want the biggest fight. I bring a lot to the table regarding me and my name. I’m one of the best fighters in the world.

The only two battles Richardson wants are Theofimo Lopez and Devin Haney. There is no chance that neither of these two could happen unless Turki Alalshikh provides them with huge amounts of money. In the case of Teofimo, even if Turki offers him a massive wallet, there is no guarantee that he will agree to a fight with Hitchens.

Haney’s value as an opponent for the Hitchens could fall to almost nothing if he was blown away by WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. on November 22nd. Fans aren’t excited to see Haney and Hitchens fighting afterwards.

An unlikely enemy

• Ernesto Mercado
• Subriel Matias
• Gary Anchanne Russell
• Alberto Puero
• Keyshawn Davis.

Hitchens is not interested in combat. All of these are dangerous battles for him, where he can receive many punishments for losing or winning. Richardson doesn’t handle pressure well and tends to run when attacked.
