Frazer Clarke backs Moses Itauma to beat Filip Hrgovic convincingly

Frazer Clarke believes Moses Itauma’s speed and power will be too much for Filip Hrgovic when they meet on August 29 at The O2 in London. Hrgovic represents the toughest opponent of Itauma’s career, but Clarke expects the 21-year-old to handle the step up in competition.

“I think he beats him well,” Clarke said. “The speed’s too much. Speed with the power, the ability, the mindset.”

Clarke believes Itauma’s hand speed could be the key difference, especially if Hrgovic allows him to dictate the exchanges and attack first.

Hrgovic though does hold a clear experience advantage, having gone 12 rounds with Zhilei Zhang and faced Daniel Dubois in 2024.
