Unbeaten heavyweights Filip Hrgović (12-0, 10 KOs) and Marko Radonjic (22-0, 22 KOs) clash in a ‘Battle of the Giants’ on September 10 at the Wörthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt, Austria for the IBF International Heavyweight Title, live on RTL in Croatia and DAZN in over 170 countries and territories worldwide.
Hrgović, the 29-year-old from Zagreb, Croatia, returns to action following a knockout win over Rydell Booker on November 7 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Radonjic, who is known as the ‘Montenegro Hammer,’ holds a record of 22 knockout wins from 22 contests.
“This is going to be a great fight between two top heavyweights,” said Hrgović. “I have a lot of respect for Radonjic for taking this fight when many wouldn’t. I’m excited to box at the Wörthersee Stadium. I expect a lot of Croatians to travel to support me and I look forward to fighting in front of the Austrian fans too. Radonjic has a good record, he has won all his fights by knockout, but he has never fought anyone like me. On September 10, he will feel my power and the ‘Montenegro Hammer’ will fall!”
“Filip Hrgović is a great fighter and I’m really looking forward to fighting him,” says Radonjic. “It will be an exciting fight between two big punching heavyweights. I know Hrgović is a good boxer but I’m confident I can beat him. I will take the IBF International Title home with me. The ‘Montenegro Hammer’ is coming to win!”
Looks to be a cant miss fight. May renew my Dazn subscription to see this 1 live.
Why? It’s just a setup for a 1st or 2nd rd KO. His oponent has a totally padded record.
Hrg last fought 10 months ago. These guys fight so infrequently their prime years will be gone almost before they start.
This fight is a fucking joke. Filip in 1 or 2 rounds. Mismatch. Super easy work.
Ps. There are guys Filip beat that can wipe the floor with The ‘Montenegro Softie’
International not to be confused with world title.
Fighting 22 stiffs is not preparation for Hrgovic. What experiance does a fighter get, never getting hurt never getting tired? Just a replay of David Haye KO 1 Marc De Mori
Yep! 22-0, only 3 of them against fighters with winning records and one of them was against a 9-8 guy who is now 9-12. Whoever is running his career has done a horrible job for their fighter.
mismatch with great records…. enjoy
Radonjic cashing out
Sad that casuals might buy this crap. Hrgovic by early rounds ko.
Hrgovic doesn’t fight often enough, and his opponent here has a totally padded record.
