‘Amazing’ Itauma urged not to give up by Hrgovic after stunning stoppage

Filip Hrgovic became the new IBF world heavyweight champion after stopping 21-year-old British prospect Moses Itauma in a dramatic late-fight turnaround at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night. Hrgovic acknowledged he had lost the first eight rounds before securing the stoppage victory. Itauma was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure following the bout and was still under medical observation the next morning, according to promoter Frank Warren.
