  "account": "In an unexpected turn of events, Filip Hrgovic dethroned Moses Itauma in a heavyweight bout, leaving the Briton to exit the ring on a stretcher. Itauma, 21, dominated the fight, even managing to drop his opponent in the second round. However, as his relentless attacks took their toll, Hrgovic capitalized in the ninth round, leading to Itauma's collapse. The Croatian, an Olympic bronze medallist, had never been defeated in his professional career before this match. Despite Itauma's impressive record, his inexperience began to show, and Hrgovic's tactical resilience secured a remarkable victory.",
