The Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic undercard should be a belter this weekend, live on talkSPORT. Itauma is set to square off against Hrgovic at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night in his biggest step up to date. The precocious 21-year-old is being hailed as a world champion in waiting, but is yet to take on elite opposition. That changes this weekend when he locks horns with bona fide top 10 heavyweight Hrgovic atop a decent undercard. Plenty of fights have been added to the bill with the most notable being a lightweight clash between highly-touted Brit Sam Noakes and former WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk. What is at stake for Moses Itauma (14-0, 12 KOs) when he faces Filip Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KOs) on Saturday for the vacant IBF heavyweight title? Let’s talk through some of the storylines for this British pay-per-view fight as Itauma looks to lead the next generation of heavyweights, at a time when the youth in the heavyweight division doesn’t look so promising. Moses Itauma will bid to become one of the youngest heavyweight champions in history when he takes to the ring on Saturday. The Briton bids to seize the vacant IBF belt at London's The O2 Arena this weekend, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate. Yet the man he must defeat represents another of the glamour division's most fearsome operators, in the shape of Filip Hrgovic. The hard-hitting Croatian, a decorated amateur favourite-turned-durable professional, has stood toe-to-toe with plenty of rivals. Moses Itauma will bid to become one of the youngest heavyweight champions in history when he takes to the ring on Saturday. The Briton bids to seize the vacant IBF belt at London's The O2 Arena this weekend, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate. Yet the man he must defeat represents another of the glamour division's most fearsome operators, in the shape of Filip Hrgovic. The hard-hitting Croatian, a decorated amateur favourite-turned-durable professional, has stood toe-to-toe with plenty of rivals. Only one, however, has emerged successful, in the shape of fellow Queensberry fighter Daniel Dubois over two years ago now. So just what lessons could Moses take from his fellow countryman - and will he actually need them? On a June 2024 card, Hrgovic arrived chasing a win that would earn him the vacant IBF interim title and a shot at Anthony Joshua. The London 2012 favourite had already been earmarked for a shot at the full crown, with Oleksandr Usyk due to relinquish the belt. Having spent two years waiting for his chance, Hrgovic came out of the traps in the first three rounds, and controlled the early flow. But Dubois began to leave an imprint after a cut to the Croatian's brow left him bloodied, despite weathering a storm of blows too.Hrgovic was left sapped on the back foot, and after another cut stymied him further, the fight was waved off following eight rounds. MOSES ITAUMA is cleaning up the heavyweight division and his own messy digs. Ahead of Saturday’s clash with Filip Hrgovic, the 21-year-old Chatham prodigy moved a handful of his brothers into a Harlow camp house to be close to Ben Davison’s thriving gym. Preparations for the O2 battle with the 36-year-old Olympic bronze winner got a boost when it was upgraded to a clash for the vacant IBF world title. Oleksandr Usyk binned all four belts when he wiped the floor with the blue riband ranks but now the Kent wunderkind is on a recycling mission to tot up all that precious metal for himself. But he’s still got time to enjoy watching family feuds about chores keep his campers happy.He told SunSport: “We had a funny interaction about the bins and about who was cleaning what! It was just a funny debate, to be honest.

Greatest in decades.. These two should now just remain buddies, train together, watch fights together! Never to fight again!
the fight that proved Ben Davidson is a terrible person to have in your corner
Wardley never hit the canvas. Dude went out on his shield
And here, too, Bend Davidson is standing in the corner. It seems that Moses Itauma isn't the only one who has trouble gauging a 12-round world championship fight.
I can’t wait to see this rematch on my freaking birthday October17th. First fight was pure brutality!
Dubios win or lose I'm a fan
I haven't seen a fight like this in a long long long time.❤
What a FIGHT!!
Level of heavy devision is declining the same as level of intelligence of our civilisation
Дуже хороший бій подарували шанувальникам боксу. Оба боксери заслуговують на повагу.
Terrible beating worse the Spence
What a war this was
Those men must've had swollen brains from exchanging such powerful blows to their heads. 😮
Damn! those punches are heavy
Wardley, batendo,,é um Leão. Quando surrado, parece um gatinho
What a nasty take Dawn 😂from Ddd
Daniel Dubois a perfect match for Filip Hrgovic stamima vs stamina.
Damn, this Rocky and Apollo Creed shit right here!
Wardley vs itauma pasti akan seru dan mahal.. petinju yg baru saja sama2 mengalami kekalahan.
I’ll be shocked if Wardley sees 50
