Itauma vs. Hrgovic Fight Set for August 8 in Manchester
British heavyweight boxer Itauma is scheduled to fight Filip Hrgovic on August 8 in Manchester. Itauma, 21 years old, enters the match with an unbeaten record of 14 wins, including 12 knockouts.
He recently defeated Jermain Franklin in five rounds in March. Hrgovic, who is coming off a third-round stoppage victory over Dave Allen on May 16, is considered a significant challenge for Itauma.
Promoter Frank Warren confirmed the location of the fight, which was initially planned for July 25 at London’s O2 Arena but was rescheduled due to Anthony Joshua's announcement of his own fight in Saudi Arabia. This matchup is seen as a crucial test for Itauma as he seeks to establish himself among the top contenders in the heavyweight division.
