Croatian professional boxer Filip Hrgović recently secured a technical knockout victory over Dave Allen in the third round of their fight in Doncaster, England. Following the win, Hrgović was asked about a potential match with Moses Itauma, a promising British talent in the heavyweight division.
Hrgović stated, "I will fight anyone, everyone. I need to meet with my manager to discuss the details and see if there are any medical concerns. I need to see a doctor to check for any injuries. I never run from anyone. If I’m healthy, there's no problem with fighting Itauma. I'll take a few days off and then we'll see. Moses hasn't reached this level yet."
Itauma, 21, is a left-handed boxer with an undefeated 14-0 record, including 12 knockouts. He holds the Commonwealth title in the heavyweight division. Despite his young age, Itauma is considered one of the world's brightest young talents, often compared to a young Mike Tyson due to his explosive power and rapid rise.
On the Path to the Top
Hrgović, who has 20 career wins, including 15 by knockout, expressed his determination to face the best in the division despite the challenges. He said, "I’m Croatian in professional boxing, and it's not easy. I have to fight the strongest in the division, a young and fast counterpuncher. I know everyone will write me off and say he’s too fast and too strong, but I believe I can beat him. And if I do, I’ll be at the top of the world."
I can't wait for Hrgović vs Itauma! This fight could be a game-changer for both. Who will come out on top? The seasoned Croatian veteran or the explosive British phenom? Let's see who has the heart of a champion!
