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.

Incident je nastao tijekom prethodnog 'face-offa' prije meča, gdje je Itauma gurnuo Hrgovića s leđa, a Hrgović ga je ošamario. Redari su spriječili veći sukob, dok su fanovi na društvenim mrežama ujedinjeni u stavu da je Itauma zaslužio svoj trenutak u fokusu, iako su neki komentatori opisali njegovo ponašanje kao sramotno. Neki priznaju ljubav prema Itaumu, ali smatraju da je zaslužio situaciju.

Chisora warned the British:

Derek Chisora, jedan od najiskusnijih britanskih teškaša, upozorava da ne treba otpisivati Hrvata Filipa Hrgovića u večerašnjem meču za upražnjeni IBF naslov svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji. Hrgović, koji je u profesionalnoj karijeri izgubio samo jednom, susreće se s 21-godišnjim Britancem Mosesom Itaumom, koji ulazi u meč kao veliki favorit. Chisora ističe da će ovo biti ravnotežni duel, gdje će oba boksača proći kroz izazove koje nisu ranije iskusili. Hrgović je već pokazao sposobnost da pobijedi iskusne protivnike, dok Itauma još uvijek nije bio ozbiljnije pogođen u profesionalnoj karijeri. Pobjednik meča osvojiće upražnjeni titul, a nakon toga morat će braniti naslov protiv Franka Sancheza.

Controversial Jake Paul is looking for a fight with Hrgović: 'Give it to me'

Filip Hrgović je pobijedio Mosesa Itaumu u londonskoj O2 Areni i osvojio IBF naslov svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji. Njegova pobjeda izazvala je reakcije u boksarskom svijetu, uključujući poruku američkog internetskog zvezde Jakea Paula koji je zahtijevao da ga Hrgović bude njegov protivnik. Iako Paul nije među vodećim izazivačima za Hrgovićev naslov, njegova popularnost i komercijalna vrijednost mogu pridonositi velikom interesu za potencijalni meč. Paul je poznat po pobjedama nad poznatim boksačima i izgradnji promotorstva, što ga čini atraktivnim za finansijski i marketing razloge.

Give me the Hornet.

Filip Hrgović osvojio je upražnjeni IBF naslov svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, pobijedivši Mosesa Itaumu tehničkim nok autom u devetoj rundi u Londonskoj O2 Areni. Ova pobjeda izazvala je brojne reakcije, među kojima je i poziv američkog internetskog kreativa Jakea Paula da ga duže protivnik. Paul, koji je poznat po svojoj karjeri na YouTubeu i kao profesionalni boksač, predstavlja komercijalno značajnu figuru u sportu. Iako trenutno nije legitimni izazivač za IBF titulu, njegova moguća borba s Hrgovićem bi imala ogroman komercijalni potencijal. Međutim, Paul se još vraća nakon ozljede iz meča s Anthonyjem Joshuom, a njegov povratak u ring planiran je za kraj godine ili početak 2027.
