There’s no love lost between Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr. Ever since their fiery face-off in May, tensions have only escalated, with both fighters stoking the flames every time they cross paths. The feud reached new heights on June 10th as they kicked off fight week atop the iconic Empire State Building, trading verbal jabs amid stormy skies. But the real chaos erupted during the final press conference in New York. Hitchins taunted Kambosos with a bundle of cash, daring him to place a bet on their clash. Kambosos responded by shoving Hitchins, forcing security to step in. But that’s not all!
Things spiraled further when Kambosos’ father, Jim Kambosos, allegedly attacked Hitchins’ trainer, Lenny Wilson, with a microphone. In the melee, trainer Wilson even grabbed a chair, threatening to hurl it at Jim Kambosos. Now, with both fighters successfully making weight on June 13th, there’s nothing stopping them from settling their bad blood inside the squared circle. With a build-up this intense, this Matchroom showdown is a must-watch. If you’re ready for fireworks, here’s everything you need to know to catch the action live.
