  "summary": "Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic has claimed the vacant IBF World Heavyweight title by defeating Britain’s Moses Itauma via a ninth-round stoppage in London. The fight took place at the O2 Arena, where Itauma was initially dominant but had to be carried from the ring on a stretcher to the hospital. Hrgovic, who previously lost to British boxer Daniel Dubois two years ago, stated after the victory that \"I’m the present, and he is definitely the future. He is an amazing fighter, but he needed more experience.\" The IBF title, which had been vacated by Ukrainian fighter Oleksandr Usyk, is now Hrgovic's to defend.",
