  "account": "Filip Hrgovic, the Croatian boxer, may be haunted by the moniker \"kid\" that he has used to taunt his opponent, Moses Itauma, ahead of their heavyweight title bout on Saturday. Hrgovic's aggressive comments, which he has made throughout press conferences, suggest that he views Itauma as a young and inexperienced fighter who may be vulnerable to the pressures of fame and wealth. However, this strategy may backfire as Itauma, at 21 years old, has compiled an impressive record of 14 wins and 12 knockouts, often winning with devastating force. Hrgovic's comments may also create a sense of Schadenfreude if he were to be defeated by the young fighter. Despite Hrgovic's claims that he is not trying to mind-game Itauma, his frequent use of the term \"kid\" and his own self-deprecating remarks suggest that he may be overestimating his chances of success. Only time will tell if Hrgovic's bravado will be enough to overcome Itauma's formidable record and bring him the heavyweight title.",
