After Saturday's defeat against IBF junior welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins, former world lightweight champion George Kambosos stopped short of announcing his retirement, but his tweet clearly shows a man contemplating the end of his career. Kambosos wrote: "It’s a tough game but one game that I have always loved no matter what. I look at myself in the mirror and I know that I always believed in myself, took on the absolute best and always chased greatness. A great trophy cabinet, a hell of a resume, so much love and support from the fans worldwide and a loving family. Win, lose or draw I always stepped up, that’s all people can ask from in a fighter. Congrats Richardson it was your night, well deserved, respect and God bless your future career. Thanks to all the boxing fans for all the love and support. Just a warrior from Sydney [Australia] that chased it all. God bless." Kambosos' record stands at 22-4.

 

Hitchins responded: "You're a warrior and I wish you the best. Had fun promoting this event with you Champ."
