Hitchins: A star in the making?
Richardson has the charisma and amateur pedigree to be a star in the light heavyweight division. We don’t know if it’s strong enough. Hitchins will show tonight if he has the guts to take on a fighter, Parr, who throws the rule book out the window when he fights.
The undercard is heavy on prospects, not with guys on the cusp of a world title, but it’s understandable why Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn decided to run these fights. The event is in San Juan, Puerto Rico, so he chose fights that would resonate with the public rather than ones that off-island fans would be interested in watching.
The preliminary card begins at 3:30 PM ET Below
