Moses Itauma will move up in his class in his next appearance.

proboxing-fans.com confirmed the report from Heavenly sports that Itauma will face Filip Hrgovic on August 29 at the O2 Arena in London.

The rising British heavyweight last fought in March, defeating Jermaine Franklin in five rounds.

The victory came just seven months after the 21-year-old defeated former world title challenger Dillian Whyte in the first round.

The undefeated Kent fighter will risk his position as number one in both the WBO and WBA when he faces Hrgovic, who is just behind him in the WBO rankings.

“El Animal” secured the vacant IBF Intercontinental title with a third-round victory over Dave Allen last month.

It was the third victory for the 34-year-old after rebounding from his only professional defeat against Daniel Dubois.

Itauma will be the Croatian’s fifth British opponent in a row, following his last four fights against David Adeleye and Joe Joyce, which he won by unanimous decision.

“I want to fight anyone in the division. Moses, anyone,” he said after defeating Allen.

“I just need to talk to the manager and the team, see if there are any injuries or cuts.

“Give me a mirror, I’ll sign the contract now.

“I never run away from any opponent.

“Listen, if I’m vigorous, there’s no problem for me.

“We need to see what’s going on. I need to rest.

“Moses never reached the promised land.”

Itauma has been linked with an all-British clash with WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, but the Londoner is on course for a rematch with Fabio Wardley later this year.

A fight with unified champion Oleksandr Usyk was also discussed, although the Ukrainian ruled out fighting him.

“I don’t want to fight Itauma because he’s a juvenile guy,” said the 39-year-old Inside the Ring.

“I don’t want to break this guy.

“He’s a guy like me.

WBC cruiserweight world champion Noel Mikaelian accepted Tyson Fury’s invitation to fight Tommy Fury, but on one condition.

Fury called on Mikaelian to fight his younger brother after Saturday’s victory over Eddie Hall.

“Tommy is a real fighter,” he said IFLTV.

“I’d like [WBC president] Mauricio Sulaiman to place him in the top 15 in the lithe heavyweight or cruiserweight division.

“I think Tommy would put up a good fight against Noel Mikaelian.

“I think Tommy has the potential to beat him.

“Tommy comes from the Fury family. Massive name, many fans.

“He earned a top-15 ranking by beating Jake Paul and should be able to do that again.

“I think there might be a world title opportunity for Tommy next.”

The Armenian regained the WBC title with a unanimous decision win over Badou Jack in a rematch in December after losing the belt to the Swede seven months earlier.

Mikaelian was ordered to defend his belt against the unified WBA and WBO champion, David Benavidezbut he insists that he would be willing to face “TNT” if his older brother agreed to face him later.

“Tyson Fury, the gypsy king,” the 35-year-old said in a video published by the website Ring Magazine.

“If your brother wants a title fight, I’m ready for it.

“I might do it next if Mauricio gives me a voluntary defense because I haven’t heard anything from the other team I was supposed to fight.

“But only if you promise to fight me next.”

Two-time world heavyweight champion Fury teased a statement from Zuffa Boxing CEO Dana White after attending UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Sunday.

White, who claimed he was promoting the Morecambe man’s long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua, said he would announce details of his links with the “Gypsy King” soon.

However, Fury’s manager Spencer Brown rejected such suggestions 37-year-old will sign with Zuffa, insisting he remain with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

“He didn’t sign a contract with Zuffa Boxing,” he said Gareth Davies.

“It was all an illusion.

“He was invited to the fight weekend to go to the White House and meet with [US] President [Donald Trump].

“[Saudi Arabian boxing chief] Turki Alalshikh did everything for him.

“It’s that uncomplicated.

“There is no contract signed.

“Frank Warren is still his promoter, but Turki is underwriting his fights.”

Fury will most likely return in August and face “AJ” in November.

Joshua will fight on July 25 in Saudi Arabia, which will be his first fight since knocking out Jake Paul in December.

Frank Warren’s Queensberry team is promoting the Garner vs Magnesi fight, and the fight is broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.
