Filip Hrgovic claims IBF heavyweight title with TKO over Moses Itauma

Filip Hrgovic won the IBF heavyweight title by stopping Moses Itauma in the eighth round on August 29 at The O2 Arena in London. Itauma dominated the fight early, dropping Hrgovic in the second round and maintaining control through most of the first seven rounds. However, Itauma's stamina failed him as he went for the knockout, leading to Hrgovic taking advantage in the later rounds. Hrgovic's victory raises questions about Itauma's next fight, as he faces an uncertain recovery after being taken from the ring on a stretcher. Hrgovic expressed a desire to unify titles against the winner of the upcoming Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley fight.
