Hrgovic calls Itauma delusional ahead of IBF title fight

Filip Hrgovic has accused his opponent Moses Itauma of being delusional and unprepared for the pressures of fame ahead of their IBF world heavyweight title fight scheduled for Saturday at the O2 Arena in London. The bout will see the 21-year-old unbeaten prospect Itauma face the 34-year-old Croatian veteran Hrgovic for the vacant belt, with a victory for the British fighter potentially making him the second-youngest heavyweight champion in history, behind only Mike Tyson. The pre-fight narrative has been dominated by Hrgovic's psychological tactics, which have included repeatedly calling Itauma a "kid" and questioning his readiness for the world stage.
