Richardson Hitchins on being a boxer and what has changed for him

When I came in boxing I met a lot of people that would show me a different living, like I never knew what a hotel room was or stuff like that. So boxing made the world more easy for me and it opened a lot of doors so I just hope that my boxing can open up doors for my family and make life easier for them.
