Croatian mandatory IBF heavyweight contender Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs), following his comments on Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs), has now targeted former champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs).
"I will crush Dubois, and then, in September, I'll come to Wembley to fight Joshua. Remember when the Croatian national football team came to Wembley and trounced the English national team?
I'll do it again. I will come to Wembley and crush Joshua in front of 80,000 Britons. That's my plan, and then a fight with Fury. But first, I need to take care of 'Big Duck' (Daniel Dubois)," said Hrgovic.
Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois will meet on June 1st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight is part of a 5 vs 5 tournament between promotional companies Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions.
Previously, Anthony Joshua announced the date of his next fight and the list of opponents.
