Hitch calls to Haney for Showdown Saudi

Richardson Hitchins told social media today that he wants to fight Devin Haney in Saudi Arabia if he no longer fights against Teofimo Lopez. Hitchins (19-0, 7 kos) first needs his defense of his heavy weight title IBF out of the way against George Kamboses Jr. On June 14.

“If Teo no longer fights against Haney after doing -me a kambozo, I will fight in Haney in Saudi. Hit my line f ****,” said Richardson Hitchins XShouting Devin Haney.

Haney vs. Hitchs Marketability

It is questionable if a struggle between Hood and Hitchins would be a marketed event. Despite having the title of IBF, Hitchins is not known enough for casual boxing fans to fight between him and Haney to sell to PPV. Haney would probably reject a fight against Hichins, considering it as a low-risk and low match.

The only way it would make sense is for Turki Alralikh to be ready to fund the struggle. It would be an interesting struggle for a co-founded in Alcatraz, but it is definitely not the headline.

Hitch is moving forward because he still has kambos to beat. After that, Richardson has its obligatory IBF struggle, which is due to Subriel Matias. Unless Hitchins can pay Matias one step away, he will have to defend him against him. It has been avoiding Matias for years, and now it cannot be done more because it is mandatory.

Haney Lopez Figh Drama

Haney (32-0, 15 kos) had hoped to fight López on August 16, but this clash is in danger after Teophimo was “fired” by Turki Alshikh yesterday. It was believed that he was going to fund the struggle.

Yesterday, Devin published the Xsaying, “I will handle it (Theophimo)” and labeled Turki Alralikh. This struggle is not likely to occur with the insults of Theophimo of Alralhikh on social media. Turki’s troll from Turki de López took the cake, with him making gay jokes. This publication may have definitively burned the bridge for Theophimo with Turki.
