Adeleye (14-1, 13 KOs) blew his stack at that remark, looking like he was about to cry. He seemed very insecure in the way he got emotional.<\/p>\n<p>Hrgovic\u2019s Calm \u201cDestroy\u201d Threat<\/p>\n<p>It was the way that the 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Hrgovic (18-1, 14 KOs) spoke in a matter-of-fact manner that set the British fighter Adeleye off. Hrgovic talked like it was a given, as if he were going to take out the garbage on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>You could tell from the way Filip spoke that he doesn\u2019t view the domestic-level fighter, Adeleye, as a serious opponent. He\u2019s just a random guy who was brought in as his opponent for him to wipe out in their undercard fight on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"DAZN\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/go\/dazn-3\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">DAZN PPV<\/a>. Hrgovic has been fighting much higher-level opposition than Adeleye, and this is a massive step down in class for him.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the Hrgovic vs. Adeleye fight is buried four-deep on Saturday\u2019s card at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, beneath fights that haven\u2019t attracted nearly as much attention during the buildup. Turki Alalshikh made a mistake of placing this fight below less appealing contests that haven\u2019t gotten fans in the U.S or the UK excited.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s Full Fight Card Order<\/p>\n<p>Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte \u2013 main event<br \/>\nNick Ball vs. Sam Goodman: Co-feature for Ball\u2019s WBA featherweight title<br \/>\nRay Ford vs. Abraham Nova: Super featherweight contest involving Ford fighting a replacement opponent.<br \/>\nFilip Hrgovic vs. David Adeleye<br \/>\nHayato Tsutsumi vs. Qais Ashfaq: Super featherweight<\/p>\n<p>Adeleye\u2019s Fiery Press Conference Rebuttal<\/p>\n<p>David Adeleye: \u201cOn Saturday night, everyone is going to see what\u2019s going on,\u201d said David Adeleye during today\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o7fBFP6h47M&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> final press conference<\/a> for his fight against Filip Hrgovic.<\/p>\n<p>Filip Hrovic: \u201cI was never down in my career.
