Croatian super heavyweight Filip Hrgovic commented on his win against Joe Joyce.
"I wasn't quite ready, but thanks be to God, Jesus Christ, all glory to him. He gave me the strength. He has given me this kambak. Without him, I wouldn't have been successful. I'm very happy to be back and I'm looking forward to big fights in the future. This guy is like steel. I couldn't believe he was taking all those punches. He's really a very tough guy. He's a beast. He's very strong.
Abel Sanchez is a great person. From the moment I first saw him, we felt a connection. We had a great time together.
Joyce beat Dubois and I beat him. That's why I want a rematch with Daniel Dubois. In the previous fight, I performed very badly. Congratulations to Dubois. He did an amazing job last year. Of course, I want to rematch with him one day," said Hrgovic.
