Richardson Hitchins is tired of hearing his name on the lips of Frank Martin.

Martin, a one-time title challenger, has mentioned the IBF 140-pound champion repeatedly over the last month, going as far as to say he would knock him out.

Hitchins (20-0, 8 KOs) has largely ignored him. Now, however, he wants to shut him up.

“Frank Martin, let’s lock it in,” wrote Hitchins on his X account. “Have your people hit my people.”

Martin (19-1, 13 KOs) stopped Rances Barthelemy in the fourth round on December 6, his first fight since he was KO'd by WBA 135-pound titleholder Gervonta Davis in June 2024.

Martin predicted he would be on the more desirable end of a knockout if he were to challenge HItchins.

None of Martin’s trash talk is getting under Hitchins’ skin, he says. At the same time, the New Yorker is seeking a big fight. He successfully defended his title against George Kambosos in June of last year, scoring an eighth-round knockout, but he hasn't fought since.

Hitchins was supposed to be the co-main event of "The Ring 6" against Jamaine Ortiz on January 31. But Hitchins claims that communication between them got mixed up. Taking his place on the card will be Keyshawn Davis, who will be making his 140-pound debut.

Regardless of the reason, Hitchins wants to get more active and kick off his 2026 as soon as possible.
