Having shared the ring with some of the division's toughest names, Hrgovic brings valuable experience into his showdown with Moses Itauma. While many see this fight as the next step in Itauma's rise, the 33-year-old will be determined to remind the boxing world of his own credentials. A victory over one of the sport's most highly rated young prospects would breathe fresh life into Hrgovic's world-title ambitions and reaffirm his status as a major player in the heavyweight division.
