What has been said?

Filip Hrgovic claims he is not impressed by the ruckus Moses Itauma has caused in recent years.

The Croatian heavyweight said: “I’m not impressed the way the whole world is … I’m a fighter, I look at [it from a] different angle,” Hrgovic said.

“I never see him in trouble. I never see him get punched or dropped. He’s definitely got skills and speed but to be a great fighter you must have heart, will, chin, endurance and we didn’t see that yet.

“Maybe he’s got all of that, but maybe not. I think I will test that. I will test is he a real deal or not. I believe that I will beat this guy and I will become heavyweight champion of the world.”

Itauma responded by saying: “You don’t get given respect, you earn it.

“Whether Filip respects me or not, it’s not going to do him any favours on fight night. Once that first punch lands, he’s going to respect me then.”
