Moses Itauma is set to challenge Filip Hrgovic for the IBF heavyweight title on August 29 at London's O2 Arena. The IBF title has been added to the heavyweight main event this week.
Itauma, 21, is currently unbeaten. A victory would make him the youngest world heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson. His opponent, Croatia's Hrgovic, 34, has a professional record of only one loss.
Frank Warren, Itauma's promoter, hinted that Itauma's potential first world-title win would be a bigger achievement than Anthony Joshua's. Warren stated that Hrgovic is a "much better fighter than Charles Martin," whom Joshua defeated for the same IBF belt in the same arena 10 years ago.
Warren also noted that Itauma is "four or five years in front of where AJ was at this particular time in his career, when fighting for a title."
