Hrgovic Ready to Face Usyk!

Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KO) is ready to take on WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KO) instead of Tyson Fury:

"Now that Fury is injured, I am ready to step in and face Usyk. Come on, Usyk, you owe me a title shot. It's time to face me," said Hrgovic.

Filip is the mandatory challenger for the IBF title in the heavyweight division. Earlier, Usyk's promoter, Alexander Krasyuk, mentioned that the team is considering a bout against Hrgovic.

The Usyk vs. Fury fight, originally scheduled for February 17, was canceled due to the British fighter's injury sustained during sparring in the training camp. The new date for the fight is currently unknown.
