Zuffa Signs Two Stars, Plus More Fighter News
By Eddie Sanchez
Richardson Hitchins And Edgar Berlanga Join Zuffa Boxing
Berlanga (23-2, 18 KO) and IBF junior welterweight world champion Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) have agreed to multi-fight deals with Zuffa Boxing.
“Zuffa Boxing is changing the game. I’m here for the biggest fights on boxing’s best platform, here to put the super middleweight division on notice,” Berlanga said in a press release.
Berlanga, who was previously aligned with Matchroom Boxing, has suffered two high-profile defeats against Canelo Alvarez and Hamzah Sheeraz.
Hitchins, whose proposed title defense against Oscar Duarte in February was shelved at the eleventh hour, due to illness, is excited for the next chapter in his young career.
“This is a major step forward in my career, I’m very grateful for this opportunity, and with Zuffa Boxing in my corner, I’m going to show the world that I am a pound-for-pound, generational fighter.”
