Having spent two years unsuccessfully chasing a Oleksandr Usyk fight, Filip Hrgovic fancies succeeding the Ring champion as heavyweight's next standardbearer.
Two years after Daniel Dubois snapped his perfect record, the 34-year-old became Croatia's first world heavyweight champion by upsetting unbeaten starlet Moses Itauma and already has sights set on more hardware.
