And the southpaw star last kept his record intact with a devastating TKO win over Jermaine Franklin in March.
But Moses will have to fight twice as hard when he takes on seasoned vetran Hrgovic who was previously ranked No1 by the IBF after suffering just one defeat.

Furthermore, Hrgovic, 34, also has his eye on a title shot following a May TKO triumph against Dave Allen.
Plus the 2016 Olympic medalist shows no fear of Itauma after admitting that he is ‘not impressed’ the way the rest of the boxing world is.

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.”
