Moses Itauma to Face Filip Hrgovic in August 29 Heavyweight Bout in London

Moses Itauma, the 21‑year‑old unbeaten southpaw (14‑0, 12 KOs), will meet Croatian contender Filip Hrgovic (19‑1, 15 KOs) on August 29 at the O2 Arena in London. Itauma praised Hrgovic’s recent victories over David Adeleye, Dave Allen and Joe Joyce but said, “I ain’t David Adeleye, I ain’t Dave Allen, I ain’t Joe Joyce,” emphasizing that those wins do not fully prepare Hrgovic for their clash.

The bout is being promoted by Queensberry Promotions and will be shown live on DAZN PPV. In parallel, the IBF has ordered Itauma to negotiate a fight with Frank Sanchez for the vacant IBF heavyweight title, adding a possible unification path after the August contest. Itauma also expressed openness to future match‑ups with fellow promotion fighter Daniel Dubois.
