The Times famously bowed to Hrgović:

The article discusses the professional boxing match between Croatian heavyweight boxer Dragan Hrgović and British fighter Anthony Itamura. It describes the fight as a significant turning point for Itamura, highlighting his initial dominance with speed and power, but also noting his struggles to maintain intensity throughout the match. Hrgović, despite being less flashy, managed to outlast Itamura by using experience, physical strength, and endurance, leading to Itamura’s first professional loss. The Times frames the outcome as a valuable lesson for Itamura’s long-term development, while acknowledging Hrgović’s resilience and tactical approach.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on a sports event and does not engage with politically charged topics such as government policies, elections, or social issues. As such, it is considered apolitical and therefore has a 'Center' lean with no meaningful ideological bias.
