Itauma set for toughest challenge yet against Hrgović in August

"A strong performance could push him closer to major opportunities in the division"

Moses Itauma is preparing for the toughest fight of his professional career when he faces Croatia’s Filip Hrgović in August.

The bout is seen as a major step up for the young British heavyweight, who has been building an unbeaten record since turning professional. Hrgović brings far more experience at elite level, making this a serious test for Itauma.

Hrgović is known for his strength, pressure style, and durability. He has competed against top-level heavyweights and is expected to push Itauma in a way he has not experienced before.

For Itauma, the fight is a chance to prove himself at a higher level and show he can handle world-class opposition. A strong performance could move him closer to bigger fights in the heavyweight division.

The August clash is viewed as an important moment in his early career and a key step in his development.
