  "account": "London, August 28 - Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic squared off at the weigh-ins for their highly anticipated IBF World Heavyweight title fight on August 29. The intense physicality between the two fighters was evident as Itauma shoved Hrgovic off the stage, who then retaliated by slapping Itauma. Despite the pre-fight tension, the bout promises to be a compelling match-up even before it begins. The main event is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. BST, with ring walks taking place between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. BST. The fight will be broadcast on DAZN pay-per-view worldwide at $59.99 in the U.S. and £24.99 in the U.K. Itauma, 21 years old, is coming into the fight as the youngest heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson, aiming to defend the vacant IBF title. Hrgovic, 34, will be looking to upset the younger opponent and boost his own career.",
