Richardson Hitchins Withdraws Due to Illness, Co-Main Canceled on Garcia-Barrios Card

The IBF junior welterweight champ is out of tonight’s co-main vs. Oscar Duarte after organizers said he fell ill hours before the bout. The title fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is canceled, with no late replacement. Hitchins (20-0) was coming off a June stoppage of George Kambosos Jr.; Duarte (30-2-1) sought his first world belt. Rebooking is expected.
