Filip Hrgovic stopped Moses Itauma. He claimed the IBF heavyweight crown. That made him the first Croatian heavyweight champion. After the bout, Hrgovic said no to a fight with Frank Sanchez. Sanchez is the mandatory challenger. Hrgovic prefers a unification fight instead. So Sanchez has to wait. Hrgovic's next step has not been set. But he left no doubt on one thing. Sanchez is not his priority.
