Thread dedicated to career of Filip Hrgovic.

Yes, fight with Bahouz off. He will face Zumbano Love now.

 

Oh, contract with Sauerland isn't signed yet, wow.

 

Sauerland and Hrgovic will discuss the contract in a 1 weeks time. They are having very long negotiations, smart by Hrgovic, he certainly isn't any dummy.

 

Don't know, who knows, he will fight Zumbano.

 

The recent interview with Hrgovic:

Eleven years old, the Brazilian has 39 wins (31 knockouts), 15 defeats (5 knockouts) and one undecided fight. - For the first promatch, this is quite a serious opponent. After all, the man is the champion of South America, the fighter that current world champion Anthony Joshua took for his opponent in his professional 12th fight. That's right, I was assigned to the injured Croat in the first fight - he joked Philip from his Berlin bunker.

Namely, Hrga saw his first professional struggles to decide on media bail. He turned off the phone so we came up with "special channels". "Since I left Zagreb two weeks ago, I have not come to anyone because I want to concentrate more on the fight. I've only heard a few times with my father and my daughter. Even if it does, they will not be in the ring, because then I would worry too much about them. Where are they doing, is it all right with them, do they have everything they need and the like ...

By the end of the year three fights Although the contract with the German promotional company Sauerland Promotions has not been formalized, Hrgović will have his professional debut at their event. Specifically at the World Boxing Super Series, which was launched by Kalle Sauerland. - Sauerland Promotions is all agreed, but I will only be able to talk about details on the snout, one week after this match. And then we could hear a bit more about the following plans: - The plan is to make two more battles by the end of the year, one of which could be a struggle in Zagreb at the end of the year. That was not yet 100 percent agreed, but went into detail consideration of ideas. For my first professional fight in Croatia, and my performance was a major fight in the evening, it would be appropriate to have a hall like Cibonin.

To what extent is Hrga nervous before the opening of a new chapter of his sports career? - Honestly, I'm, I'm nervous, mostly because I have not been boxing for a long time, for more than a year. I do not doubt in my qualities, I know that I can work with everyone on the professional scene, but I will need a couple of fights to bring that feeling back to the ice. And what follows is some other level with much more media attention. I'm excited, but I do not know what's finally going on. Filip does not go to the world of the professional boxer with a parachute. - I have 30 fights in the World League and score 26-4. And I fought with the world and European champions, with the Cubans and the Russians, and I broke up with top professionals such as Klick, Wilder, Hayje ... In addition, I've done 50 sparing rounds for this fight, including six against next Joshua's challenger Cubert Puleva whom I am very pleased with. That was another confirmation that I was ready for this.

Following a long and hard trip On Saturday night in Riga, besides Hrgovic will be his manager Karim Bouzidi and his personal boxing coach Yousef Hasan (from Dad Jordanca and Mama Hrvatica), which is known from BK Leonardo. - Let's go for a match, step by step, without excessive pressure. I always set high goals and I want to go to the end, but I know this will be a long and difficult journey - Hasan announced.

Hrgović's fight with Brazilca Raphael Zumbano Love will be one of the opening debates of this sporting event on Saturday, led by Mairis Briedis and Mike Perez. All boxers will fight in six rounds for three minutes at the Arena Riga.

I'm sorry that my first fight did not happen much earlier. There were a lot of problems in realization that I would not talk about, but now I can finally go. I'm happy to be back in the ring after more than a year. This will be a long and difficult journey, but I know I'm good and I know I was born for this, Hrgovic said before the first fight.

ilip Hrgović will have the first professional match tomorrow afternoon, and his opponent will be Raphael Zumbano Love. Experienced Brazilian has more than 50 career games so this will not be an easy test for our champion, but somehow we believe that Hrga should not have too many problems with Zumban.

- For the first profi match, this is quite a serious opponent. After all, the man is the champion of South America, the fighter that current world champion Anthony Joshua took for his opponent in his professional fight, "said Hrga.

The match will be held in Latvian Riga as part of this year's Boxing Super Boxing Tournament. The match between Hrgovic and Zumban will be one of the opening matches for the chief between Mairis Briedis and Mike Perez.

Hrgović today performed official weigh-in for the tomorrow's match, and we must admit it looks really scary! Weighs 101.3 kilograms or nine times less than opponents. We can also say that Hrgovic never looked so ready. Great form of our best boxer.

You will be able to watch the match at Arena Sport 1 on Saturday at 20:00
