Itauma has blitzed through all-comers in his brief professional career, flattening all but TWO of his 14 opponents.
The Chatham clubber has been tipped by many to do a similar number on Hrgovic, who will bid to get his hands on a world title at the second time of asking.

Derek Chisora
The former two-time heavyweight title challenger said: “I can only judge when I see everybody on the scales.
“But right now, and I’ve said this before, it’s going to be a cracking fight.
“So the fans are going to win with this fight, because Moses is going to come in in shape [and] Hrgović is going to come in in shape.
“This is not a one-way fight for both fighters. They’re all going to go through something else they’ve never been through.
