I want to beat Hrgovic, belts change nothing – Itauma
British-Nigerian heavyweight Moses Itauma declares his motivation to beat Filip Hrgovic remains unchanged, even with the IBF world title on the line. Read More: https://punchng.com/i-want-to-beat-hrgovic-belts-change-nothing-itauma/
Moses Itauma, a British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer, has stated that his determination to defeat Croatian opponent Filip Hrgovic is unaffected by the news that the vacant IBF world title will be decided in their upcoming match at the O2 Arena on August 29. At 21 years old, Itauma would become the second-youngest heavyweight world champion in history if he wins.
Despite the added pressure of a belt on the line, Itauma remains serious about the contest, telling DAZN Boxing that he has always taken Hrgovic seriously. The Croatian has a notable record, having only lost to Daniel Dubois, while Itauma has an impressive 14-fight professional record, with all victories coming within the first six rounds.
Itauma also discussed comparisons to Mike Tyson, dismissing them as attempts to diminish his own achievements. If he wins, Itauma will have to face mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez next.
