“As you know it, I love that underdog role,” said Kambosos. “But, there’s no maybes. I’m doing this. This is not fake stuff. I’m coming to this home, in a familiar place where I’m 2-0 already, this is the trifecta. Like [Hitchins’ trainer] Lenny [Wilson] said, the talk is finished. We don’t need to sit down here and talk.

Lou [DiBella], you’ve seen these eyes and I’m here to win this fight. Whatever it takes, by any means. There is no plan B.”

There is significant animosity between the pair, to the extent that a face-off was not conducted at the end of their press conference, following repeated altercations between the fighters. In the end, however, Saturday night’s winner will be determined by who is more skilled. Hitchins possesses the better skillset overall and should not have too many issues outworking Kambosos. Expect the New Yorker to win via clear unanimous decision.
