Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic Set for IBF Heavyweight Title

 British heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma will face one of the biggest challenges of his young career when he meets Filip Hrgovic on August 29.

The fight, scheduled for London's O2 Arena, will now be contested for the vacant IBF heavyweight championship, adding even greater importance to the highly anticipated clash.

Itauma has quickly become one of boxing's most exciting young prospects. The unbeaten fighter has recorded 14 victories, including 12 knockouts, and has impressed with his power and composure.

However, Hrgovic brings considerably more experience and represents a major test for the young Briton.

The Croatian has competed at the highest levels of amateur and professional boxing and possesses the size, power and experience required to cause Itauma serious problems.

A victory would be a massive breakthrough for Itauma and could establish him as one of the leading young heavyweights in boxing.

At just 21 years old, he also has the opportunity to enter the history books by becoming one of the youngest heavyweight champions ever.

But Hrgovic will have his own ambitions and will be determined to prevent Itauma from making history.

AMG JAHBLESS: This is no longer just a prospect fight. With a world title at stake, Itauma has the opportunity to announce himself as a genuine force in the heavyweight division.
