After experiencing first hand what it is like to share the ring with Filip Hrgovic<\/a>, Dave Allen has made his prediction for the upcoming fight against Moses Itauma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten sensation Itauma will face the toughest test of his career so far when he meets Hrgovic at the O2 Arena in London on August 29.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Itauma has won all 14 of his fights to date, Hrgovic is also heading into the bout on a good run of form, having claimed wins over Joe Joyce, David Adeleye and most recently Allen in his last three fights.<\/p>\n

The Croatian needed just three rounds to dispatch of Allen when they fought at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster last month, but despite that loss, \u2018The White Rhino\u2019 revealed on his podcast<\/a> that he believes Itauma will easily come out on top.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Itauma wins in 2 or 3 [rounds]. I really do. I think he knocks Hrgovic out cold. As good as I think Hrgovic is, and he was miles too good for me, I just think Itauma is all wrong for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHrogvic is stand up tall, straight shots, I think Itauma will just be miles too fast for him. Hrgovic will come and have a go and try to knock Itauma out, which is great, but I think Itauma is going to hit him first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen isn\u2019t the only British heavyweight to make a prediction for the fight after previously going up against one of the competitors, as former Itauma victim Dillian White has also shared his thoughts on the clash.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After experiencing first hand what it is like to share the ring with Filip Hrgovic, Dave Allen has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":761599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-761598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
