Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgović heavyweight bout set for London's O2 Arena

British promoter Frank Warren has scheduled a heavyweight clash between 21‑year‑old Moses Itauma and veteran Croatian Filip Hrgović for August 28‑29, 2026 at the O2 Arena in London. The bout pits Itauma’s speed, hand‑speed and youthful explosiveness against Hrgović’s experience, size and resilience.

Itauma, a rising south‑paw noted for swift combos and early knockouts, is being positioned for a future unification fight with reigning champion Daniel Dubois, a match he says could happen once both hold belts. Hrgović, coming off a loss to Dubois stopped by cuts, will be Itauma’s toughest opponent to date, offering a test of his power and durability before any potential title showdown.
