Richardson Hitchins vs. George Kambosos live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks for IBF title fight

Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr. face off for the IBF super lightweight title on Saturday in New York. (for Empire State Realty Trust) Uncrowned has Richardson Hitchins vs. George Kambosos Jr. live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Hitchins vs. Kambosos fight card on Saturday night at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Hitchins makes the first defense of his IBF super lightweight title against the former unified lightweight champion Kambosos. Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) claimed the IBF title with a split decision win over Australia's Liam Paro this past December in Puerto Rico. Saturday marks the fourth consecutive headliner for Hitchins, but the first one in his home state of New York and his first as a world champion when he faces Kambosos. Advertisement Kambosos (22-3, 10 KOs) returns to The Theater at Madison Square Garden, the site of his massive upset win over Teofimo Lopez in 2021 to capture the WBA, IBF and WBO unified lightweight titles. The Australian lost his titles in back-to-back fights with Devin Haney in 2022 before rebounding with a controversial majority decision victory over Maxi Hughes. The win over Hughes earned Kambosos a shot at the IBF lightweight crown, but he was ultimately stopped by Vasiliy Lomachenko in May 2024. Kambosos made a successful debut at super lightweight with a unanimous decision over the late-replacement Jake Wyllie this past March and now looks to become a two-division champion. Advertisement In the night's co-feature, Andy Cruz (5-0, 2 KOs) — who won gold in the lightweight division at the 2020 Olympic Games and is regarded as one of the best amateurs in recent times — faces Hironori Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KOs) in a final eliminator for the newly-crowned IBF lightweight champion, Raymond Muratalla. Elsewhere on the card, a trio of top prospects return to action, including the 2024 Olympic duo of Teremoana Teremoana (7-0, 7 KOs) and Nishant Dev (1-0, 1 KO), as well as Zaquin Moses (3-0, 2 KOs) — the cousin of Shakur Stevenson. Boxing financier Turki Alalshikh named India's Dev as a fighter he'd like to feature on the Netflix-streamed Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford undercard in September.
