Hitchins-Kambosos Presser Descends Into Chaos in NYC

George Kambosos Jr. is scheduled to face Richardson Hitchins on June 14, 2025, at Madison Square Garden Theater, competing for the IBF belt in the junior welterweight division.
The bout follows a tense build-up, including a chaotic June 12 press conference where insults escalated and physical altercations nearly broke out.
During the event, Hitchins flashed $50,000 to challenge Kambosos to a bet while both fighters and their teams exchanged heated threats and confrontations.
Kambosos stated, “This is the trifecta,” and “I’m coming here as the underdog” while aiming to regain a world title and improve his 22-3 record with 10 KOs.
The controversy concluded with promoter Eddie Hearn calling off the face-off to avoid further conflict, intensifying excitement for the upcoming bout scheduled in New York City.
