Britain could have a new heavyweight world champion on Saturday when Moses Itauma faces Croatian Filip Hrgovic at London’s O2 Arena for the vacant IBF title.
The 21-year-old Briton has won all 14 of his professional fights, 12 by stoppage, and has established himself as one of the division’s most exciting young prospects.
A victory would make the Chatham fighter the youngest heavyweight world champion since Mike Tyson in 1986.
But Hrgovic is a major step up. The experienced 34-year-old – a 2016 Olympic bronze medallist – has a record of 20 wins and one defeat, with 15 victories inside the distance.
