Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KO) was asked about the fight, which has been buzzing about in rumors for a while now, and the possibility of doing it in August, which is when Itauma is slated to return.<\/p>\n
Hrgovic said that as long as he is good physically on a check after this fight, he\u2019ll be ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always told you, I will fight anyone in the division. Moses or anyone,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I\u2019m healthy, and I look like I am, no problem for me. I need a few days to rest. I\u2019ve never run from anyone. Moses will never reach the promised land.\u201d<\/p>\n
Queensberry\u2019s George Warren confirmed that the company has their eye on the matchup, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Filip signed with Queensberry, he contracted with us on the basis that that was one of the options we could put to him,\u201d Warren said. \u201cAs he said, he\u2019s got a slight nick on his eye, has to make sure that\u2019s OK. Moses is booked for August, and as soon as we\u2019re back in the office next week, that\u2019s my job, to try and get that fight made.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Moses is going to be a world champion, which is what he wants to be, and Filip wants to be a world champion, which is what he wants to be, they\u2019ll have to get it on at some point. So let\u2019s get on with it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old Itauma (14-0, 12 KO) is seen as the top rising young star in heavyweight boxing, and is coming off of a fifth round stoppage win over Jermaine Franklin on March 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KO) was asked about the fight, which has been buzzing about in rumors for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-588178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=588178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=588178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
