Richardson Hitchins has officially announced that he will be working with Matchroom Boxing once again.

“Back together,” Hitchins wrote on his Instagram account with a picture of himself, promoter Eddie Hearn, and manager Keith Connolly. “2026 will be a huge year. More millions and mega fights.”

Hitchins (20-0, 8 KOs) initially signed a multi-fight deal with Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing in 2022. Their marriage was a beautiful one. Hitchins kept a busy schedule and achieved a lifelong dream when he traveled to Puerto Rico and dethroned Liam Paro to win the IBF junior welterweight title.

In his first defense, Matchroom made him the headliner on June 14 in his hometown of New York at Madison Square Garden's Theater against George Kambosos Jr. It was an easy night at the office for the 28-year-old as he scored an eighth-round stoppage.

However, immediately following his win, Hitchins upset Hearn with his post-fight comments regarding free agency. Hearn felt unappreciated and their future together appeared uncertain.

Nevertheless, it all appears to be water under the bridge. Hitchins has stated that he’s set to return in the first quarter of 2026 against an opponent yet to be determined.
