Hitchins put together a 6-0 record before making a step up in class to take on Tre'Sean Wiggins, winning on points in an eight-round contest.

The 27-year-old has never faced a fighter with a losing record and victories over the 25-5-3 Argenis Mendez in 2020 and the 18-1 Malik Hawkins the following year saw him move up the rankings.

In 2023, he moved a step closer to challenging for a world title by outpointing three-time world title challenger Jose Zepeda and the following year he controversially claimed a points win over Gustavo Daniel Lemos in the IBF super lightweight title eliminator.
