IBF Mandatory Filip Hrgovic denied title shot for the 4th time - IBF president confirms

Fight each other

 

Prime Zhang was 39 years old? Hmmm...

 

Yes it's right.

Absolutely mental people are asking a champion to be stripped.

Usyk is quite clearly the best HW in the world. His next fight should be Fury.

Afte that he should fight one of Hrgovic, Kabayel or Parker.

Let Hrgovic and Kabayel fight each other.

 

Cant Turki just give the IBF a bunch of cash to not strip Usyk

 

It´s true that keeping Hrgovic waiting for 2 years is just BS.
Then again, he is dealing with a champion who holds multiple titles. Then there was the WBA mandatory and the WBC unification.
Lastly, it´s a joke that Zhang vs Hrgovic was for the mandatory position. Neither had done **** at that point.

Hrgovic should be smart and take the interim belt. Because with Saudi money, he is guaranteed to get a money fight should he beat Dubois, be it against Usyk or some contender.

 

I would agree if Hrgovic didn't spend most of his career feasting off bums. If you want that title shot show that you deserve it.

 

I mean, there is the rub really. I do think Parker had the better run recently, but at the same time, as you rightly point out: Wilder was 38, and Zhang was 40.
Plus Parker recently took a loss to Joyce, whereas Hrgovic is undefeated. Though fighters are more likely to take loses fighting tough opponents.

The kicker for me though, is Parker refused the fight with Hrgovic for the IBF mandatory.

So to Parker and his kiwi hardcore: Get back in line

 

Wilder hasn't fought Zhang yet.

 

So what's Hrgovics excuse for fighting De Mori then?

 

Yes. It's a joke that you should somehow be given a title shot because you have one razor close decision over another contender two years ago. So he should just face Joshua if he gets past Dubois, and the winner of that fight should preferably face Parker. Then we will end up with a top contender that can't be questioned. Or even just Dubois and Parker would solidify his nr 1 status once Fury and Usyk are done with each other.
