After months of uncertainty surrounding his promotional future, Richardson Hitchins has officially reunited with Matchroom Boxing. The unbeaten IBF junior welterweight champion announced the news across his social media platforms on Monday a move that solidifies his position as one of boxing’s fastest-rising stars heading into 2026.
“Back together,” Hitchins wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself, Matchroom chairman Eddie Hearn, and manager Keith Connolly. “2026 will be a huge year. More millions and mega fights.”
The announcement ends speculation that Richardson Hitchins may be headed toward promotional free agency, which briefly appeared to be the case after his last outing.
