Itauma vs Hrgovic: Moses Itauma meets Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight world title in London on Saturday – here’s the Itauma vs Hrgovic start time and how to watch it.
Itauma (14-0, 12 KOs) and Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KOs) will crown the latest heavyweight champion at the O2 Arena.
If successful, Itauma will become the youngest heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson. First, though, he faces a stern test.
Indeed, the 21-year-old has breezed through his first 14 professional bouts. In his last outing, Itauma stopped Jermaine Franklin in five rounds. By contrast, Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte were both taken the distance by the American.
Meanwhile, Hrgovic is on a run of three consecutive victories. Although, the 34-year-old was stopped by Daniel Dubois in eight rounds in 2024, since then he has beaten Joe Joyce, David Adeleye and most recently, Dave Allen in three rounds in May.
As a result, Itauma and Hrgovic are fighting for the IBF belt, which was relinquished by Oleksandr Usyk in June.
