'Horse boxing in London and if he doesn't beat him with a break, he can hardly win a match, let's be realistic about one'

The article discusses the upcoming professional boxing match between Croatian fighter Filip Hrgović and Moses Itaume in London. It highlights Hrgović's potential to become the sixth Croatian boxer to compete for a world title, following historical figures like Mate Parlov, Marijan Beneš, Branko Šobot, Željko Mavrović, and Stipe Drviš. The piece notes that Itaume has agreed to a 'step-aside deal' where he will receive significant compensation to allow Hrgović to challenge for the title. The article also reflects on past Croatian boxers who achieved world title opportunities, including Parlov’s historic win against an Argentine opponent in 1978 and Beneš’ European championship before his loss to Ugandan Ayub Kalule. The narrative emphasizes the commercialization of professional boxing, suggesting that business interests often outweigh pure sportsmanship.
