Filip Hrgovic believes his August 29 clash with Moses Itauma will be the biggest heavyweight fight of the year.
The Croatian says he has completed an intense 10-week training camp at 2,100 metres above sea level, spending the entire period away from his wife and child.
“I did everything I could: ran 400 kilometres, did 31,000 sit-ups and completed 100 rounds of sparring,” Hrgovic said. “I believe this is my time. This will be the best fight of the year, man. And the biggest fight. Forget Joshua-Fury. Their fight is s&^%. We will have the biggest fight of the year.”
Hrgovic and Itauma will meet tomorrow in London, with the vacant IBF heavyweight title on the line.
