Rio de Janeiro Olympic heavyweight medalists Filip Hrgovic (13-0, 11 KOs) and Tony Joka (11-0, 9 KOs) scored early wins this weekend in their next pro fights.

At an evening in Klagenfurt, Austria, Hrgovic easily won the IBF International Championship belt against Marko Radonic (22-1, 22 KOs) when the latter failed to reach the fourth round. Radonic was on the floor four times in the second round and once more in the third.

Yoke needed more time to win and ended his rivalry with Peter Milas (15-1, 11 KOs) in the seventh round, thus defending his EBU-EU title.
