The mandatory challenger for the IBF heavyweight title, Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic has responded to the challenge from New Zealand's Joseph Parker.
Filip Hrgovic
I heard that Joseph Parker wants to fight me in March on Joshua-Ngannou undercard. I am very happy to hear that. I accept your offer, Joe. Let’s get down. See you soon, baby.
Hrgovic, 31, last stepped into the ring against Mark de Mori in December 2023. That confrontation ended with Filip winning by technical knockout in the first round. He has 17 wins (14 by knockout) and no losses.
Parker, 31, defeated Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision of the judges on the same night of boxing. He has 34 wins (23 by knockout) and three losses.
