And they will be supported by division colleagues and Olympic medalists Filip Hrgovic (14-0, 12 KOs) from Croatia and Zhang Zhilei (23-0-1, 18 KOs) from China. And they will not just perform, but will determine the mandatory challenger according to the IBF version for the winner of the bout Usyk vs Joshua 2.
Self-confident favorite
Hrgovic shared his plan for the fight: “Of course I will try to knock him out. Do you know what a powerful plush I have? If I hit him, he will immediately fall asleep right in the ring. But the task is to box with concentration and caution, because he is also a good puncher. And, of course, he’s still a big guy. We’ll have to be patient, fight carefully and wait. But I’ll cut him down anyway!”
Earlier, Hrgovic said: “I’m going to beat Usyk or Joshua.” All undercard fights of the show in Saudi Arabia were announced yesterday. In May, heavyweight Olympian Zhilei did not notice Alexander: video.
