I was like, ‘if I’m fighting Hrgovic and I’ve got the opportunity for it to be for a world title? Yeah, chuck a world title on the line,’ I didn’t really have a feeling,” Itauma told British media on a Zoom call on Friday. “I was taking Hrgovic serious and now that the fight is for a world title, I am still taking it serious. I just think he doesn’t like Mike Tyson and is finding a way to dim his light,” Itauma smiled. Of course I set out the goal to become the youngest heavyweight world champion.
