Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic will collide TODAY (Sat., Aug. 29, 2026) for the vacant IBF Heavyweight ***** le, streaming live on DAZN PPV inside O2 Arena in London, England. IBF made the announcement a few weeks ago that the already-signed bout would be for the vacant ***** le left behind by Oleksandr Usyk, a nice surprise for both men.
Itauma, 21, has the chance to become the second-youngest Heavyweight champion ever — with Mike Tyson being age 20 when he won the ***** le back in 1986 — should he defeat Hrgovic, who is out to play spoiler to fulfill his own championship dreams.
