IBF junior welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins has announced he is relinquishing his title as he prepares for a move up to the welterweight division. The undefeated American talent, who recently signed with Zuffa Boxing, will now campaign at 147 pounds, vacating his belt in the process. This strategic decision signals Hitchins' ambition to conquer a new weight class and pursue further glory.
