Filip Hrgovic stopped Moses Itauma. He secured the IBF heavyweight belt. That made him the first Croatian heavyweight champion. Right after the bout, Hrgovic said no to a fight with Frank Sanchez. Sanchez stands as the mandatory challenger. Hrgovic prefers a unification fight instead. So Sanchez will have to wait. Hrgovic's next step remains unclear. But he made his position clear on one thing. Sanchez is not his priority.
