Moments after the victory, Hrgovic made it clear he is willing to face Itauma next if the fight can be finalized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, guys. I know I\u2019m not the favorite guy here. It is what it is, that\u2019s boxing,\u201d Hrgovic said after the fight. \u201cThanks to Dave Allen, his team, Queensberry, and DAZN for this event. I\u2019m moving forward to become the heavyweight champion of the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started fast because I saw all my punches connecting. He was very awkward from the beginning, so I wanted to finish him fast to make a statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hrgovic then addressed speculation linking him to Itauma, who is scheduled to return in August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want a fight with anyone in the division. Moses, anyone?\u201d said Hrgovic. \u201cI just need to sit with my manager and team, see if there are any injuries or cuts. Give me a mirror, I\u2019ll sign the contract now. I never run from any opponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, if I\u2019m healthy, no problem for me. We need to see what\u2019s going on. I need to rest. Moses will never reach the promised land. You know what I mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Queensberry promoter George Warren later confirmed that Itauma-Hrgovic is one of the targeted options following Saturday\u2019s result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, we can. That fight\u2019s there. It\u2019s done,\u201d Warren said. \u201cFilip, when he re-signed with Queensberry, he was contracted on the basis that that fight was one of the options that we could put to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoses is booked for August. As soon as we\u2019re back in the office next week, that\u2019s my job. Get that fight done and announced. This guy is a world-class operator, and if Moses wants to be a world champion, Filip wants to be a world champion, they\u2019re gonna have to get it on at some point, so let\u2019s get it on now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"in\">Hrgovic vs Itauma nexy??? \ud83d\udc40<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AllenHrgovic?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#AllenHrgovic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JPbT1JbUox\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/JPbT1JbUox<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DAZNBoxing\/status\/2055758143548805431?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hrgovic dominated Allen from the opening bell before Allen\u2019s trainer, Jamie Moore, threw in the towel during the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-589979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589979","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=589979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
