It is expected that a formal announcement by way of press conference will be held early next week. Itauma (14-0, 12 KO) has been blazing his way up the ranks at only 21 years old, most recently coming off of a fifth round stoppage of Jermaine Franklin back in March, marking his 10th consecutive stoppage withing the distance. Itauma has often complain about his difficulty in securing fights, but he’s got a formidable opponent here. Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KO) is himself coming off of a stoppage win, last knocking out David Allen in three rounds this past May, and it is fully expected that he will present a stern challenge to the young up-and-coming Itauma as he presents his own real danger.
