Filip Hrgovic and Moses Itauma prepare for heavyweight title clash

Heavyweight boxers Filip Hrgovic and Moses Itauma are set to face each other at London's O2 Arena for the vacant IBF title. The bout carries historical significance, as the 21-year-old Briton, Itauma, aims to become the second-youngest world heavyweight champion in history, a record held by Mike Tyson.

During the final press conference, Hrgovic utilized psychological tactics, repeatedly referring to Itauma as a ‘kid’ and suggesting the young fighter is ‘delusional’ and unprepared for the pressures of fame and wealth. Hrgovic expressed concern that Itauma’s attitude could ‘ruin his soul.’ Despite these jibes, Itauma has remained stoic and unfazed by the provocations.
