Moses Itauma says he is ready for his next fight after coming to terms with his August loss to Filip Hrgovic. The 21-year-old, who suffered his first defeat as a professional, is now looking ahead to a January return, according to multiple reports.
In the fight, Itauma dominated for much of the contest, with outlets describing eight rounds of control before he later ran out of steam. He was eventually stopped by Hrgovic. One outlet reports Itauma maintains his view that his approach—aiming for “greatness” and trying to knock Hrgovic out—still reflects how he wants to fight, even though he acknowledges the loss. Another describes Itauma struggling to accept the defeat at the time.
Across coverage, the central points are consistent: Itauma has processed the outcome, he remains focused on his long-term ambitions, and he is targeting a return to competition next month.
