Hrgovic: "In my best form, I will beat anyone!"

Philip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs) a fight for the world heavyweight title is guaranteed, as he is the mandatory challenger according to the IBF. But the Croat may have to wait a long time for his title chance. He does not want to wait, so he is looking for serious challenges.

Hrgovic received contender status in August last year after defeating Zhang Zhilei (25-1-1, 20 KOs). According to some analysts, the victory in this duel could be given in either direction, so Philip, who was struggling with personal problems at the time, would be happy to give the Chinese a revenge. But Martin Bakole (19-1, 14 KOs) and Frank Sanchez (22-0, 15 KOs) can also count on his invitation.

“Although I won my first fight against Zhilei, now he is at the top of my wish list. I would like our revenge to take place this year. I will knock him out, dispel all doubts, and shut everyone up in the process. There are a lot of big names in the heavyweight division right now that I would love to meet. Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Frank Sanchez, Martin Bakole, each of them will be a big and interesting challenge. I firmly believe in myself and that on my best day I will be able to beat anyone in the world,” said Hrgovic.
