Hrgovic: I'm better than Usyk, Fury and Wilder, and I can beat them

Filip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs) has been out of action for a year now, but fortunately will return to the ring next week. The mandatory contender for the WBC heavyweight belt has named the top three fighters in the giant division.

Theoretically, a Croat could sit back and still get a chance at the championship. However, he knows that the longer the break, the weaker his form and less chance of winning the crown. And he received the status of a contender through the International Boxing Federation in August last year after defeating Zhang Zhilei.

In a week, his opponent will be Demsey McKean (22-0, 14 KOs). The Australian southpaw is ranked high in WBO #14, IBF #13, WBC #40.

“The top three heavyweights? Of course, this is Usyk, Fury and, possibly, the third - Wilder. I can't place myself in this trio yet, but I'm sure that I can beat anyone, including these three. In fact, I consider myself number one, although I still need victories over the best, ”said Hrgovic.
