IBF Schedules Interim Heavyweight Title Fight Between Ruiz And Hrgovic
Such a duel became possible after the release of Oleksandr Usyk from mandatory defense.
Not so long ago, the International Boxing Federation (IBF) allowed the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles Oleksandr Usyk not to make a mandatory defense against Filip Hrgovic.
This was done so that the Ukrainian could have a unification fight with WBC world champion Tyson Fury.
In the meantime, the organization has decided to fight for the title of interim champion, the participants of which will be the same Filip Hrgovic and Andy Ruiz.
On account of the last thirty-five victories and two defeats in his career. Hrgovic won fifteen times, and has never left the ring defeated.
