25-year-old American super-lightweight prospect (up to 63.5 kg) Richardson Hitchins (16-0, 7 KOs), who in the coming year managed to score a victory over his previously unbeaten prospect colleague John Bausa, is sure that he is ready for a significant increase in the level of opposition.
So much so that, on occasion, it threatens to leave no chance for the star ex-champion in the category below Teofimo Lopez (18-1, 13 KOs).
“Yes, I will easily beat this Teofimo of yours. Well, the feel is such that I won’t have problems with him, ”said Richardson. – I don’t think that it would be a difficult fight for me, and I don’t believe that it would turn out to be competitive. He has a special talent in terms of fast twitch muscles, speed and power, but with me he will not succeed. I have too many advantages over him.”
Teofimo, however, has a much more interesting prospect for the near future. According to unconfirmed information, on June 10, he will try to become a champion in 63.5 kg, entering the ring against WBO title holder from Scotland Josh Taylor (19-0, 13 KOs).
