Croatian heavyweight contender for IBF title
Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgovic congratulated the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk with victory in battle with Daniel Dubois. Hrgovic called the Ukrainian to the next fight.
“Congratulations, Usyk. See you soon,” wrote the Croat.
Earlier, Hrgovic’s promoter Eddie Hearn said the Croat would push for a mandatory IBF title defense. The Croatian is the official contender for the belt owned by Usyk.
Hrgovic defeated Australian Demsey McKean in his last fight on a boxing evening in London at the O2 Arena. The Croatian retained his status as a mandatory contender for the IBF heavyweight title, which he won last August by defeating Zhang Zhilei.
Usyk defeated Dubois in a fight that took place in Wroclaw, Poland, and defended his titles. The Ukrainian knocked out the Briton after another accurate blow in the ninth round.
