He Said, He Said: Keyshawn Says Hitchins "Finally Accepted." Hitchins Says He Said Yes a Month Ago, and Where's the Contract?

Ringcard flip, darlings: DECEMBER? PERSONAL? 🪧

RUMOR. It's Keyshawn's word, and only Keyshawn's so far. Keyshawn "The Businessman" Davis says Richardson Hitchins has said yes. In a social-media video that Bad Left Hook transcribed today, he said:

"Buddy finally accepted the fight. It's time for me to pop back out…'cause this fight in December, this [stuff is] personal. And I don't lose personal fights. So I'm going to start popping back out. [Hitchins], I'm on [your case], December, and I'm going to beat [you]. Be there."

Whisperer's edit: we cleaned up three bits of language (in brackets) without changing the meaning. The "[Hitchins]" bracket is BLH's.

The Ring shared the clip too, with the caption "Keyshawn Davis makes it clear he's ready for Richardson Hitchins 😤 Could this be next? 👀"

Hitchins fires back. His own words. Then @HeIsRichardson quote-posted the clip at 2:05 PM PT: "I accepted this fight over a month ago still no contract or anything official I'm still waiting for a contract and time is [freaking] ticking Keyshawn" (Boxing News 24 has the story).

Whisperer's edit: one word cleaned up, in brackets.

So, darlings, both men say yes to the fight. They just disagree about who made it wait. Keyshawn says Hitchins only just came around. Hitchins says he's been ready for a month and the paperwork never showed up. 🕰️

What's still missing: a promoter. No date, no venue, no card, and no word from Zuffa (which BLH says Hitchins is now aligned with) or from Keyshawn's team. Until somebody with a letterhead says so, it's two fighters' claims on social, and one of them says there's no contract.

Why it smells personal: BLH points out Keyshawn has spent months calling out Devin Haney, only to opt out when the fight was formally ordered. Hitchins, per BLH, "is in desperate need of an opponent with a credible name." Two men who need each other. That's often how these things actually get made. 💅

Scout both before the pens come out: Keyshawn's Boxbid page and Hitchins'. Once there's a date, it's going on the board. Meanwhile, this week's Boxbid picks card is open.

Rumor-Meter

• Keyshawn Davis vs. Richardson Hitchins in December: WARM (RUMOR). Both fighters say they've agreed to it, but Hitchins says there's still "no contract or anything official." No promoter has confirmed it, and there's no date, venue or card.
