Are they sure its him? Or is it just a hunch?

Nope. Didn't watch the whole presentation, as I don't like to let facts get in the way of a good story.

the battle was lost and he was killed by a double crosser called sir william stanley who surrounded and killed him as Richard and a few of his knights broke off from the battle to charge at henry tudor, his horse was killed beneath him. if sir william stanley and his supporters had stopped onside and aided richard then he would have won the battle.

 

another legend goes Richard consulted a seer in Leicester
before the battle who foretold that "where your spur should strike on
the ride into battle, your head shall be broken on the return." On the
ride into battle his spur struck the bridge stone of Bow Bridge; legend
states that, as his corpse was carried from the battle over the back of a
horse, his head struck the same stone and was broken open.
