The head of the Matchroom Boxing promotional company, Eddie Hearn, who represents the interests of Croatian heavyweight boxer Filip Hrgovic, told when his client’s fight against WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF world champion Alexander Usik could take place. According to Hearn, the IBF is going to officially appoint a fight between Usyk and Hrgovic in the near future. The promoter hopes that this fight will be organized in December of this year.. " Usyk will now have the option to request an exception to fight someone else. The only person we can grant an exception to is probably Tyson Fury.. But since Tyson Fury already has a fight scheduled, you can't ask for that exception.. So I think we should just do it, set the fight for December.. We love Hrgovic's chances in this fight, he's definitely improved in the last couple of fights. We are ready to arrange this fight, "

Recall that on the night of August 27, Usyk knocked out Briton Daniel Dubois in the ninth round at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland and defended the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF world heavyweight titles.. Now the 36-year-old Usyk has 21 wins (14 by knockout) in 21 fights..

He held five of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there.. The track record of 31-year-old Hrgovic has 16 wins (13 by knockout) in 16 fights. In his last fight, the Croatian knocked out Australian Demsey McKean in August of this year and retained his status as a mandatory contender for the IBF heavyweight title..
