Filip Hrgovic defeated Moses Itauma. He secured the IBF heavyweight title. That made him the first Croatian heavyweight champion. Right after the bout, Hrgovic ruled out a fight against Frank Sanchez. Sanchez holds the mandatory challenger spot. Hrgovic wants a unification fight instead. So Sanchez has to wait. Hrgovic's next step remains unclear. But he left no doubt on one thing. Sanchez is not his priority.
