After his loss to Daniel Dubois in June, Filip Hrgovic has remained notably quiet, sparking questions about his next steps.

This bout was not just a fight; it was a testament to Dubois' rebirth in the boxing world, marking his ascent as a formidable top level contender.

If the fight is fully sanctioned as an interim title bout, the winner will be upgraded to full champion if Oleksandr Usyk is stripped of his IBF belt.
