The two met at today\u2019s Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Press conference in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Keyshawn\u2019s Switch Flips Instantly<\/p>\n<p>Hitchins got in Keyshawn\u2019s face, reminding him of how he\u2019d gotten the better of him during sparring that they had years ago. Initially, Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) was friendly and easy-going, but something snapped in him when Hitchins started shaming him in front of the media, bringing up their sparring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=boxingnews24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add Boxing News 24 as a preferred source on Google\" width=\"310\" height=\"40\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google_preferred_source_badge_light.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was different Keyshawn, as he showed flashes of anger and took over. You could tell from looking at him that he was in full trigger mode, vowing to fight Richardson next and take his IBF 140-lb title from him in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Flashbacks to the Berinchyk Blowup<\/p>\n<p>It was the same look to him that he had when he went off on WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk at their final press conference, accusing him of sending a box of bananas to his hotel room. Keyshawn looked ready for a 72-hour psyche hold at Bellvue. He snapped. It had reached the point where he looked ready to go berserk on Richardson.<\/p>\n<p>Hitchins Suddenly Backs Down<\/p>\n<p>Hitchins backed off completely when Keyhshawn lost on him. You could see the change. He went from talking mess to holding back, \u2018What did I get myself into?\u2019 I unleashed something in Keyshawn that he didn\u2019t want to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to fight next year because he\u2019s the champ. I\u2019mma take your belt \u2018cuz you know you\u2019re not better than me in March. Hey, you can\u2019t take a punch.
