“[Agit] Kabayel is a normal fighter. I’ll play with him. He is tough. He is brave. But his style is the best for me and I’ll make an easy job of him.”

Hrgovic reckons British favourite Moses Itauma, who has from his defeat to the Zagreb-born brute, is unbeatable.

He added: “[Itauma] is the future. This guy will be undisputed in a few years. No one will ever beat him if he comes back mentally.
