Richardson Hitchins says he’s willing to defend his belt against Keyshawn Davis.
During today’s kickoff presser for Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson, two other fighters around their weight class were in attendance and ended up engaging in some full-length banter for the cameras. Both Richardson Hitchins and Keyshawn Davis went face-to-face to seemingly agree to square off in the coming year right in front of Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn.
A lot of the trash-talking done here was about what may or may not have happened in past sparring sessions between the fighters over the years, but what’s much more intriguing is what will happen between them if they in fact do formally put this fight together, which seems to at least be in the works to some degree.
If it were to happen, Hitchins would presumably be putting his IBF 140 lb title on the line against a fighter in Davis who, while quite talented, has faced much more problems outside of the ring than in it as of late. He was most recently stripped of his WBO lightweight title for coming in well over the weight limit for a title defense against Edwin De Los Santos over the summer, which ended up being canceled altogether.
