Hrgovic's promoter: "He's next in line to fight Usyk"

Kalle Sauerland, IBF Heavyweight Mandatory Challenger Promoter Philip Hrgovic, believes that the next opponent of the WBA, WBO and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk should be his ward.

“Usyk, Hrgovic is waiting for you. He wants all the other belts. Philip won't beat around the bush. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

I take my hat off to Zhang Zhilei for agreeing to fight Hrgovic when all the IBF top 15 fighters didn't want to fight him. He is next in line for the fight with Usyk. Who thinks that Philip is not capable of seriously competing with any heavyweight? His sparring with Deontay Wilder got into the network. It was a real swing. This is PPV level boxing in sparring. For people who understand boxing, Hrgovic's fight is a huge heavyweight fight," Sky Sports quoted Sauerland as saying.

We will remind, earlier Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krasyuk told who should be the next opponent
