Undefeated heavyweight Filip Hrgovic has no doubt that in his next fight he will have the opportunity to compete for the IBF championship title, and hopes that his opponent will be the former division ...
“There are many options, but I’m next in line. Whoever my opponent becomes, I know that I will fight for the belt. I just want a title shot. I don't care who I fight.
If we talk about my preferences, then I would like to meet Anthony Joshua. This is one of the biggest names in the sport, but I know that I can beat him,” Boxing News 24 quotes the Croatian as saying.
The IBF title currently belongs to Oleksandr Usik, who will fight a unification fight with Tyson Fury on February 17. The Ukrainian and the Briton have signed a contract for two fights next year, which means that the winner of their first meeting will not be able to defend the title against a mandatory opponent. Everything indicates that the IBF belt will become vacant, and two boxers with the highest ratings will challenge it.
