History will be made on Saturday evening at The O2 Arena in London as Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic lock horns for the vacant IBF heavyweight title, live on DAZN pay-per-view. A win by Itauma makes him the second-youngest heavyweight champion in history behind only Mike Tyson. If Hrgovic wins, he'll be the first Croatian to capture heavyweight gold. Itauma and Hrgovic had one final chance to get inside each other's heads at Friday's weigh-ins. Things have gotten intense between the two as fight week has gone along, and it came to a head at the end of the weigh-in.

 

First, Hrgovic came in at a svelte 236.2 pounds, and Itauma at 241.7. Right after Itauma stepped off the scale, Itauma and Hrgovic made a beeline towards one another and went in each other's faces immediately. A war of words ensued with Hrgovic saying, "I’m going to f—ing smash you". 

 

They continued to jaw at each other back and forth until a DAZN microphone got put in between them. "I am the man," Hrgovic said. 

 

"I'm going f—k you up," Itauma shot right back. 

 

Hrgovic stepped right in front of Itauma and posed for the cameras. Then Itauma proceeded to slightly push Hrgovic off the stage. Hrgovic popped back up onto the stage and slapped the 21-year old in the face.  Security and respective fight teams separated them before the situation escalated further.
