🥊 Filip Hrgović stopped previously unbeaten Moses Itauma in the ninth round at London’s O2 Arena to win the vacant IBF heavyweight championship.
Itauma, 21, had controlled much of the early fight and knocked Hrgović down in the second round. The 34-year-old Croatian rallied as Itauma tired, and the referee intervened as trainer Ben Davison threw in a towel.
📰 The win makes Hrgović the first Croatian world heavyweight champion. It also ends Itauma’s unbeaten record after a bout in which he entered the seventh round having never previously gone beyond six.
Itauma left the ring on a stretcher after an apparent knee injury, according to The Guardian. Hrgović now holds the IBF belt, while the reports did not establish his next opponent. ðŸ‡ðŸ‡·
