In the fight with Hrgovic, Joshua is betting on Usyk

Andrew Karlov Sept. 12, 2023, 5:03 a.m.

Filip Hrgovic (16-0, 13 KOs) is the mandatory challenger for the IBF heavyweight belt. In theory, he should be the next opponent Alexandra Usika (21-0, 14 KOs), although the team is also looking at him Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs). Previously, the Croatian was named as one of AJ’s possible opponents.

Hrgovic himself is eager to fight Usik, the current IBF, WBA and WBO world champion. Joshua, in one of his interviews, answered the question of who would be his favorite if Hrgovic achieves his goal and meets the Ukrainian.

“Hrgovic is a really good boxer and also a dangerous puncher. But Usyk is a great deceiver. My clear favorite will be Usyk, but with Hrgovic’s class anything can happen,” said Joshua.
