Richardson Hitchins, with an iron will and a record of 17-0, 7 KOs, is ramping up for what could be a career-defining clash against Gustavo Lemos, boasting a record of 29-0, 19 KOs. This face-off isn’t just a regular bout; it’s a final eliminator for the IBF World Jr. Welterweight title, promising fireworks in the heart of Las Vegas.
Hitchins, a hardened warrior from Brooklyn, is hell-bent on proving he’s not just passing through the elite fighting circles but is here to cement his place among the legends. At 26, he’s not just fighting Lemos but also battling for a shot at the throne currently held by Subriel Matias. This isn’t about chasing shadows for Hitchins; it’s about honing his arsenal, being ready for any challenger that dares step into his domain.

Hitchins is not just focused on the physical grind but is also sharpening his mental edge, inspired by the likes of Kobe Bryant, chasing a perfection that might seem elusive but sets him apart from the pack.
