HE TOLD A 20-YEAR-OLD HE'D SEND HIM BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL – THEN THE FIGHT GOT REAL
Filip Hrgovic isn't here to make friends. Hours before the biggest fight of his career, he looked Moses Itauma dead in the eye and said he'd 'smash the kid' and send him back to school. No mind games, he claims. But you can feel the tension. Hrgovic's been chasing a title for years – a bad stoppage against Dubois, a string of wins since. Now he's one win away from making Croatia's first heavyweight champion. And he says this camp was his best in six years. But Itauma? He's young, fast, and everyone's picking him. What nobody knew was… Hrgovic's granite chin and relentless volume might be the one thing Itauma's never faced.
