Hrgović has dominated Itaum in the face-off.

Poslije drugog sučeljavanja između hrvatskog boksača Filipa Hrgovića i britanskog boksača Mosesa Itaume, britanska medija i javnost primjećuju psihološku prednost Hrgovića. Borba, koja se održava 29. kolovoza u londonskoj O2 Areni za IBF naslov svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, pokazala je da Hrgović dominira u verbalnoj razmjeni, što je potvrđeno preko 310.000 pregleda snimke i komentara. Hrgović je izrazio kritiku prema statusu britanskog boksača u odnosu na one iz manjih europskih država, što je iznenađilo Itaumu. Novinar Ade Oladipo, koji je analizirao borbu, smatra da Hrgović nema poštovanja prema Itaumi i da ga gleda kao klinca koji dobiva pohvale zbog svoje nacionalnosti. Oladipo također naglašava da je Hrgović primijetio nedostatak pažnje prema boksačima iz manjih država i da je promijenila dinamika borbe u odnosu na Itaumine prošle sukobe.

Croatian boxer Filip Hrgović dominated his verbal exchange with British contender Moses Itauma ahead of their upcoming IBF heavyweight title fight scheduled for August 29 at London's O2 Arena. The face-off, broadcast on DAZN's YouTube channel, has drawn increasing attention from British media and public, who are recognizing Hrgović’s psychological strength. The video has been viewed more than 310,000 times, accompanied by numerous comments supporting the Croatian fighter. The second encounter between Hrgović and Itauma was content-rich and intense, mirroring their previous meeting organized by Queensberry Promotions. Hrgović's remarks about the status of boxers from the United Kingdom compared to those from smaller European countries stood out. His comments surprised Itauma and also criticized the British boxing scene that dominates modern boxing. Ade Oladipo, a journalist and reporter for DAZN and TalkSPORT, agrees that Hrgović was dominant during the exchange. He analyzed the face-off on his YouTube channel and shared his observations. "On August 29, we will find out how good Itauma really is," Oladipo said. "The face-off shows that Hrgović doesn't respect him. He sees him as a kid who gets praise just because he is from the UK." Oladipo added that Hrgović was correct in commenting on the status of boxers outside major markets. "He told him, 'If you had remained a world junior champion in Slovakia, nobody would have known about you.' And that is true," he noted. Boxing is a mass sport in the United Kingdom, ranking third or fourth in popularity, while its status in Slovakia is unclear. Hrgović recognized this well. After this face-off, the fight has become much more intriguing, according to Oladipo, who also highlighted a change in dynamics compared to Itauma's previous opponents. "I've followed many of Itauma's face-offs, and I've never gotten the impression that any opponent truly believed in a victory," Oladipo said. "It always felt like Moses was the main one, but that wasn't the case with Hrgović. During their face-off, Hrgović positioned himself as the dominant figure. I can hardly wait for their match. I think the fight will be incredible." Hrgović, representing Croatia, spoke about the challenging path he took to reach the top, which he explained to Itauma. Itauma told him that at 21 years old, he was a sparring partner for Hrgović's fights because nobody knew about him. Hrgović responded by explaining why that was the case. "If I were British, you would have been a sparring partner for my fights at that age. You're from Slovakia, right? If you had stayed in Slovakia, nobody would have known about you. You were a junior champion at 21, and I was, I. Nobody cared about me," Hrgović said and continued: "It's different when you come from Croatia, you know? I don't disrespect everything you've done, but that's the truth. It's different when you enter boxing from Croatia and from the United Kingdom. Britain is the biggest boxing country in the world, creating champions." His statements delighted fans who praised him in the comments. "Everything he says is true," "He shut him down," "This shouldn't have happened to Itauma," were some of the comments left. Hrgović's upcoming fight against Itauma promises to be a highly anticipated event, drawing interest from boxing enthusiasts around the globe. The psychological edge Hrgović displayed during their face-off could play a crucial role in the outcome of the bout. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting the results of this high-stakes championship fight.

Hrgović listed the five best heavyweights in the world.

Filip Hrgović, hrvatski teški boksač, priprema se za meč protiv Mosesa Itaume za IBF-ov naslov svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, koji će se održati 29. kolovoza u Londonu. Uoči meča, Hrgović je objavio popis pet najboljih teškaša današnjice, uključujući Oleksandra Usika, Daniela Duboisa, Agita Kabayela i sebe samog, ali nije uključio svojog protivnika Itaumu. Hrgović je dobio jedini poraz u karijeri 2024. godine od Duboisa, nakoji je tada postao novi IBF prvak. Nakon poraza, Hrgović je osvojio tri pobjede protiv engleskih boksača i ponovno postao izazivač za IBF-ov pojas. Međutim, kladionice ne smatraju ga favoritom u ovom meču, jer je Itaum neporažen i ima uspješan niz pobeda.

Filip Hrgović, hrvatski teški boksač, pripremava se za meč protiv Mosesa Itaume za IBF naslov svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji. U razgovoru za DAZN Boxing, Hrgović je komentirao razliku u medijskoj pažnji koju primaju boksači iz različitih zemalja. Napisao je da mladi boksač iz Velike Britanije dobiva više pažnje zbog svoje zemljine pripadnosti, dok boksači iz manjih zemalja, poput Hrvatske ili Slovačke, nemaju iste šanse za promociju. Naglasio je da njegove riječi nisu izraz nepoštovanja prema Itaumi, već opis razlika u mogućnostima koje pružaju velika i mala tržišta.

In an emotional conversation with Itaum, he delighted the fans: 'Man, you have everything...'

Filip Hrgović, hrvatski boksač, u emocionalnom razgovoru sa britanskim boksačem Mosesom Itaumom, objasnila je kako je njegova karijera bila znatno teže zbog svoje države. Hrgović je dao primjedbu da ako je bio Britanic, Itaum bi bio predborba na njegovim borbenim dogodima, posebno uzimajući u obzir da je Itaum iz Slovačke, gdje je manje poznat. Hrgović je naglasio da je Britanija najveća boksačka zemlja na svijetu, a da je njegova država, Hrvata, imala svoju specifičnu situaciju. Fanovi su reagovali pozitivno na njegove izjave, dodavajući komentare poput 'sve je točno što govori' i 'ovo Itaumi nije trebalo'.
