Tensions Explode at Hitchins vs. Kambosos Press Conference Ahead of June 14 Clash

The heat is already on before the first punch is thrown.

At a press conference promoting their June 14 showdown at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr. ignited the stage with a fiery exchange that instantly raised the stakes for their highly anticipated bout.

Richardson Hitchins, the defending IBF light welterweight champion since December 2024, didn’t back down during the verbal sparring. The Brooklyn native is looking to make a statement in front of a hometown crowd as he puts his title on the line.

Facing him is Australia’s George Kambosos Jr., no stranger to high-pressure situations. Kambosos held the unified lightweight titles from 2021 to 2022 and brings a battle-tested edge and international experience to the table.

The back-and-forth at the press event wasn’t just for show—it reflects the genuine tension between these two fighters. The psychological warfare was on full display, as Hitchins taunted Kambosos’ resume and Kambosos fired back with pointed reminders of his past conquests.

With the bout only days away, oddsmakers have Hitchins slightly favored due to his recent momentum, but Kambosos’ championship pedigree ensures this won’t be a walk in the park.

This press conference wasn’t just hype—it was a warning shot. Come June 14, expect fireworks in the ring.
