#richardsonhitchins #devinhaney #teofimolopez Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the chaos surrounding IBF light welterweight champ Richardson Hitchins! After his stunning eighth-round KO of George Kambosos Jr., Hitchins dropped a bombshell—free agency! Eddie Hearn's fuming, and Turki Alalshikh's loyalty to Matchroom adds fuel to the fire. Will Hitchins face Devin Haney or Teofimo Lopez, or is he stuck with lesser foes? We unpack the drama, his next move, and whether his 1990s Mayweather-style can shine.

Buncey sits down with WBO, IBF and Ring Magazine world champion Ellie Scotney as she prepares to head to New York to defend all her belts on the massive Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano card in New York. She explains how the opportunity came about to join Jake Paul's MVP stable and how it is a dream come true. She also tells the tales of how she ended up taking Serrano on the pads when she went over for the press conference last month.

A very slow week of boxing occurred with the highlights being Richardson Hitchins stopping George Kambosos Jr, which would lead to a call-out of former two-division titleholder Devin Haney. Andy Cruz stopped Hironori Mishiro. This win makes Cruz mandatory for Raymond Muratalla's IBF title. Friday night, two things to talk about: A card in Ghana went on until the early morning with Andrew Tabiti getting a stoppage win, and LeAnna Cruz had to get off the deck to win her fight against Regina Chavez. Israel Mercado upset Branden Pizarro in the co-feature. Looking ahead to Thursday, WBO welterweight titleholder Brian Norman Jr faces Jin Sasaki. Is this a Fight of the Year or a mismatch? We discuss. From Thursday to Saturday, the WBC Grand Prix will enter the second round. This has provided some very exciting bouts so far. Friday on DAZN, David Stevens vs. Petr Khamukov will meet in a crossroads match. Saturday on DAZN, Galal Yafai vs. Francisco Rodriguez will take center stage with Peter McGrail in the co-feature. Saturday on ESPN+, Vito Mielnicki Jr. will face Kamil Gardzielik, other notables on the card, Jahi Tucker vs Lorenzo Simpson, which is a great fight, Brandun Lee, and Jamar Talley.Saturday on UFC Fight Pass, Callum Walsh will face Elias Espadas in a very good match-up we will explain. Also, Cain Sandoval, "Right Hook Roxy" Verduzco, and Umar Dzambekov round out the undercard. Timestamps 0:00 Dakota rants3:00 Richardson Hitchins-George Kambosos 13:00 Matchroom undercard17:40 Moses Ituama-Dillian Whyte Preview19:16 OTX Boxing card25:35 Ghana card27:10 Brian Norman-Jin Sasaki30:00 TV Breakdown of the Week37:30 Jahi Tucker-Lorenzo Simpson45:10 Callum Walsh

Live on DAZN, this is a night you won't want to miss—tune in for exclusive insights and fight-night hype!

Send us a textA boxing weekend that began with disappointment ultimately delivered one of the year's most thrilling fights. Fritz and Franco take you through the entire spectrum of emotions that fight fans experienced over this packed weekend of action.The Times Square card failed to ignite any real excitement despite featuring names like Devin Haney, who appeared hesitant throughout his victory, and Ryan Garcia, whose defensive limitations were exposed in his loss to the equally controversial Rolly Romero. Neither contest provided the fireworks expected from such high-profile matchups.Saturday's Saudi Arabia event reached a new low with William Skull's embarrassing performance against Canelo Alvarez. Skull's strategy consisted almost entirely of running away, literally throwing his hands up and retreating whenever Canelo approached. The hosts don't hold back their contempt for this display, questioning how the IBF could possibly have made this their mandatory title challenge. Even the Saudi promoters couldn't hide their disgust, with Turki Alalshikh unceremoniously dismissing Skull from the ring after the fight.The weekend was salvaged on Sunday when Naoya "The Monster" Inoue demonstrated why he's considered one of boxing's premier attractions. Despite suffering a knockdown in the second round against the game Ramon Cardenas, Inoue mounted a spectacular comeback featuring punishing body work that culminated in an eighth-round TKO. The co-main between Espinoza and Vasquez delivered consistent action as well, with Vasquez showing tremendous heart before the referee's merciful stoppage.Join the hosts as they celebrate fighters like Inoue and Jaime Munguia, who showed impressive growth in his rematch victory, while calling out the sport's disappointments. They also address the problematic commentary that continues to plague boxing broadcasts, with Joe Tessitore receiving particular criticism for his hyperbolic reactions to punches that didn't even land.Want more unfiltered boxing talk that cuts through the hype?
