In September, Croatia may host a fight that will determine the official contender for the IBF World Heavyweight belt. Philip Hrgovic (12-0, 10 KOs) will face Demsey McKean (19-0, 12 KOs).
Initially, Michael Hunter was assigned to a duel with Hrgovic, who, after promotional bids, refused to fight. As a result, the American was excluded from the rating of the International Boxing Federation.
Oleksandr Usyk and Joseph Parker, among others, received an offer to cross gloves with Hrgovic, but it looks like the Croatian will finally fight Australian McKean, who has not yet achieved any significant victories as a pro.
