Meet the unbeaten prospects on the Hitchins-Kambosos Jr undercard - including Olympic champion backed to conquer his division
Hitchins vs Kambosos Jr - Saturday live on DAZN
Most attention will be on the headlining world-title bout between Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr this Saturday, but there are plenty of interesting talents on the undercard that will be shown live on DAZN.
Although Hitchins is unbeaten, no one would describe the IBF super lightweight champion as a prospect as he heads into the first defence of his crown.
As with any card, punters in attendance and those watching at home will have the chance to see a handful of fighters coming up the ranks with their own ambitions of fighting for world champions.
Be it boxers with world champion cousins or former Olympic champions, there are a few fighters that have the potential to wow fans this weekend.
Andy Cruz, 5-0 (2)
It is a bit of a stretch to describe a 29-year-old an Olympic gold medallist as a prospect, but Andy Cruz has been slated to find as much success in the pro ranks as he did as an amateur.
That is a strong claim, considering the Cuban was a three-time winner at the World Championships and a two-time gold medallist at the Pan American Games.
In his first fight, he won the IBF international belt, highlighting his fast-tracked status. If he defeats Japanese lightweight Hironori Mishiro, he will become the IBF’s mandatory challenger at 135lbs, setting up a shot at newly crowned champion Raymond Muratalla.
Considering the lightweight division has fractured further following news of Vasyl Lomachenko’s retirement and Keyshawn Davis vacating his WBO belt, Cruz could quickly become the man to beat at 135 pounds.
Teremoana Teremoana, 7-0 (7)

Andy Cruz is not the only former Olympian in action on Saturday’s card. Teremoana Teremoana represented Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he was knocked out in the quarter-finals by reigning super-heavyweight champion Bakhodir Jalolov – who would go on to pick up a second gold medal.
Shortly after, Teremoana called time on his time in the unpaid ranks, fully focusing on his professional career.
The towering Aussie had made his pro debut in 2020, fighting four times before his appearance at the Olympics. In December 2024, he signed terms with Matchroom Boxing, initiating a spell of increased activity.
Having won his first four fights by knockout, Teremoana showed the same form after restarting his pro career, winning each of his last three fights in the first round.
He had been due to fight on the undercard of countryman Jai Opetaia’s IBF cruiserweight defence last weekend, only for opponent Jaipul Singh to pull out after contracting COVID.
A last-minute addition to the Hitchins-Kambosos Jr card, Teremoana’s opponent is another unbeaten heavyweight. American Aleem Whitfield is nine bouts into his professional career, which started in 2009. After a period of inactivity lasting nine years, Whitfield has stepped back into the ring, and the 35-year-old is quickly putting fights together.
He has won all nine of his bouts, including six stoppages, as well as two wins via disqualification.
Nishant Dev, 1-0 (1)
Another defeated quarter-finalist at the 2024 Olympic games, Nishant Dev is a super welterweight signed to Matchroom Boxing.
A bronze medallist at the 2021 world championships, Dev made his debut in January 2025, shortly after joining Eddie Hearn’s promotion.
The Indian fighter dropped opponent Alton Wiggins twice before securing a first-round stoppage. He faces Josue Silva, 3-2 (1), in a six-round contest.
Zaquin Moses, 3-0 (2)
Melina Pizano/Matchroom
Zaquin Moses will have to achieve some impressive feats if he is to become the greatest boxer in his family. That is because the 20-year-old is cousin of three-division champion Shakur Stevenson, both boxers growing up in Newark, New Jersey.
Having made his professional debut on the undercard of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ second victory over Karen Chukhadzhian, an event promoted by Matchroom Boxing, Moses signed terms with Eddie Hearn a month later.
Regularly training with his cousin and former world champion Raymond Ford, Moses has secured two knockouts in his last two outings, already fighting twice in 2025.
The super featherweight faces 34-year-old Carl Rogers, who has a slightly positive record of 3-2.
