Itauma vs Hrgović: Unbeaten British-Nigerian boxer battles for IBF Heavyweight World Title

British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Moses Itauma is set to challenge Croatia's Filip Hrgović for the vacant IBF heavyweight world title at London's O2 Arena. At just 21 years old, Itauma holds a perfect 14-0 record with 12 knockouts, including a notable first-round stoppage of former title challenger Dillian Whyte. This fight marks a significant step forward in Itauma's career, potentially making him the second-youngest heavyweight world champion in history after Mike Tyson. However, Hrgović, a more experienced fighter with a 20-1-1 record, presents a formidable challenge. The rivalry has grown tense, with Hrgović criticizing Itauma's youth and inexperience, which has reportedly begun to affect Itauma's focus.
