Richardson Hitchins, George Kambosos Make Weight Ahead of 140-pound title clash
NEW YORK — Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr. briefly went nose to nose Friday, a day after they were kept separated during their press conference at Madison Square Garden.

Their weigh-in was a lot less eventful, as Hitchins stepped on the New York State Athletic Commission’s scale at 140 pounds, slightly more than Kambosos, who officially weighed 139.4 for their 12-round, 140-pound title fight Saturday night in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.



Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) will make his first defense of the IBF junior welterweight title he won six months ago when he boxes Kambosos (22-3, 10 KOs).

DAZN will stream Hitchins-Kambosos as the main event of a seven-bout card. Undercard coverage is set to start on DAZN at 6:30 p.m. ET (11:30 p.m. GMT).

Lightweight contenders Andy Cruz and Hironori Mishiro made weight for the 12-round co-feature a few minutes before Brooklyn’s Hitchins and Australia’s Kambosos stepped on stage.

Cuba’s Cruz (5-0, 2 KOs) weighed in exactly at the lightweight limit of 135 pounds, a little heavier than Japan’s Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KOs), who weighed 134.6.



Their IBF lightweight elimination bout will determine its No. 1 contender for champion Raymond Muratalla (23-0, 17 KOs).

Cruz is ranked third by the IBF, two spots ahead of Mishiro. The No. 1 position in the IBF’s lightweight rankings is unoccupied.

The weights for the rest of the Hitchins-Kambosos undercard:
