Rising heavyweight star Moses Itauma is set for his toughest challenge when he faces Filip Hrgovic of Croatia on August 29 in London, with a title fight likely for the winner.

The 21-year-old southpaw, who has drawn comparisons to a young Mike Tyson, has been eyeing a title shot in 2026 and turned more heads in March with his brutal knockout of Jermaine Franklin Jr.

"This fight is the litmus test Moses is ready for and it is the one he wanted," Queensberry promoter Frank Warren said in Friday's announcement of the bout at The 02.
