Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgovic fight predictions, odds, undercard, start time and more

The 21-year-old Brit can become the youngest heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson if he beats the experienced Croatian veteran.

  • On Saturday, British boxing prospect Moses Itauma faces Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight title at London's O2 Arena, where the 21-year-old aims to become the second-youngest champion in history.
  • While Itauma enters undefeated with 14 wins, the 34-year-old Hrgovic brings experience as a 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, making this matchup the toughest acid test for the young rising star.
  • Hrgovic vowed to "smash the kid," claiming this is his "best training camp in the last six years," while Itauma countered that "talk is cheap" ahead of their collision.
  • Winning the IBF title would immediately position Itauma as a global star and potentially mandate a bout against Frank Sanchez, securing a major foothold in the heavyweight division.
  • Comparisons to Mike Tyson surround Itauma due to his hand speed and footwork, and success here could mark a generational shift in boxing as fans seek a new heavyweight champion.
