He won by split decision last time out after going the distance with Australia\u2019s Liam Paro in Puerto Rico, taking home the IBF light-welterweight title.<\/p>\n<p>He will defend that belt this weekend as he meets Kambosos Jr. for the first time. The 31-year-old is the more experienced contender, having entered 25 fights and won 22.<\/p>\n<p>The pair have exchanged choice words in the build-up to the fight. Hitchins labelled Kambosos a \u2018D-Class\u2019 fighter the week before the fight, adding \u201cEvery time he fights, he gets out of the ring uglier than he came in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is determined to defend his home city of New York: \u201cHe\u2019s going to have to kill me. He\u2019s got to show me he\u2019s a gangster. I\u2019m going to show him where I\u2019m from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kambosos responded in equal measure, promising a decisive win \u2018in [Hitchins\u2019] own back yard\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHitchins is not on my level,\u201d he declared. \u201cI ain\u2019t got s*** to lose.
