CroatiaAudley Harrison, Olympic gold medalist from Sydney 2000 and former heavyweight contender, accurately predicted the outcome of the fight between Croatia’s Tomislav Hrgović and Britain’s Joe Itauma before it took place. Harrison warned that if Hrgović could take Itauma deep into the fight, he would likely win. He anticipated that Itauma might run out of energy by the ninth round and even predicted the possibility of the match being stopped while Itauma was still standing. This prediction came true, with the referee stopping the bout in the ninth round after Hrgović overwhelmed Itauma. Harrison had previously cautioned against overestimating Itauma’s readiness for high-stakes fights, noting that despite his talent, Itauma was not yet prepared for 12-round battles against opponents who could push him into unfamiliar territory.
