    FILIP HRGOVIC (25) in the fourth professional match will face Sean Turner (26). The Croatian and Irish boxers' offense is scheduled for February 24 in Nuremberg.

    "I expect a war in the ring, Irish are strong, but Croats are stronger" said Filip Hrgovic, announcing the fight on RTL Television.

    Sean Turner debuted in a professional ring in June 2014. With 12 wins - eight of them knocked out - and one defeat is currently the 48th world heavyweight. Last September, in Basel, he was surprisingly defeated by Arnold Gjergjaja, a Kosovar with a Swiss passport who lost his only career to England's David Haye.

    While Filip Hrgovic is 198 centimeters tall, Sean Turner is 18 centimeters lower.

    Turner didn't lose to Gjergjaj, he knocked him out...

    Turner lost to Kamil Sokolowski, the journeyman that David Price fought recently...

    This is a good fight for both men, Hrgovic might be tested but will TKO Turner in the mid rounds...

    Dawejko has solid skills. If he got a professional team, he would have managed to become a fringe contender at least. I favour him over Fa, who didn't impress me at all so far.

    Depends if Fa is still motivated and how much he will weigh in for the fight. Right now I am favouring Dawejko too.

    Sokolowski is underrated as hell... One of the better HW journeyman today, Much better than his record suggests. He'd have beaten Price too had it been an 8-10 rounder.

    Wallin takes this.

    Granats trainer, Krancj, also left him a few weeks ago.

    Agreed. I leaned towards Wallin slightly even before Granat was exposed by Dimitrenko.

    "If Wilder will box, as in this video, then our fight will really last only 3 rounds." Luis Ortiz will become the new world champion! " - wrote Luis Ortiz.
