Hrgović is fighting for the world title tonight.

Croatian heavyweight boxer Filip Hrgović will face British opponent Moses Itauma at a boxing event in London on Saturday evening. The match, which is expected to start around 11:30 PM local time, is the main event of the sports gathering and will be broadcast exclusively by DAZN, requiring a subscription for legal viewing in Croatia. The bout is significant as it is for the vacant IBF world title in the heavyweight division, with the winner taking a major step toward becoming one of the top heavyweights in the sport. Hrgović has a professional record of 20 wins and 1 loss, while Itauma, undefeated with 12 victories including 10 knockouts, is considered one of the most promising young heavyweights globally. Prior to the fight, Hrgović taunted Itauma, leading to a brief exchange of insults, after which Hrgović knocked Itauma down. Hrgović criticized Itauma for lacking experience and being overly confident, calling him 'still a child' who is not yet ready for the pressure of being a world champion. Itauma acknowledged Hrgović’s comments but stated he understands part of his message, though he believes winning the fight would not necessarily harm his mental state.
