Hitchins: A Star In The Making?
Richardson has the charisma and amateur pedigree to be a star in the light welterweight division. We don’t know if he’s tough enough. Tonight, Hitchins will show whether he has the grit to deal with a fighter, Paro, who throws the rulebook out the window when he fights.
The undercard is prospect-heavy rather than having guys on the cusp of a world title, but it’s understandable why Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn chose to make these fights.
