Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic will clash for the vacant IBF heavyweight title tonight at the O2 Arena in London. The 21-year-old is attempting to become the second youngest heavyweight champion in history, a record held by Mike Tyson that was achieved 40 years ago.

The opening bout is expected to commence at approximately 4.00pm UK time (11am ET / 10am CT / 8am PT). The main card is scheduled to begin at 6.30pm UK time (1:30pm ET / 12:30pm CT / 10:30am PT).
In the headline contest, Hrgovic will likely make his ring walk first at around 10pm UK time (5pm ET / 4pm CT / 2pm PT) with Itauma due to follow straight afterwards.

Quotes corner
Moses Itauma: "I want to first address that I am not trying to become the second youngest heavyweight champion of the world, I am trying to beat Filip Hrgovic. Second of all, this fight is what I wanted. I asked Queensberry for so long. I think it is a style match-up I reckon I can thrive on, the pressure I can thrive on and it is just waiting to fight. Obviously the world title is an achievement and an accolade. And that is a plus one, but my sole focus is Hrgovic. If I ain't going to beat Hrgovic, it doesn't matter about the world title and it doesn't matter about the noise or nothing. My job is to be victorious on fight night. I am ready to rock and roll."
Filip Hrgovic: "I am just telling you facts. I am not playing any games. I just tell you what I think in the moment. Like I said, I am not so smart to play these mind games. I think he is a kid, he is not mature enough and I think I am the man. I am a much better age, much more experience and yeah, that is it. No mind games. God willing you know I will beat him, I'll smash the kid on Saturday and send him back to high school."
He has said he wants some props but I have come here to London, on his territory, this kid everyone is avoiding. I have come here for a fight and – against all the odds – I believe in myself. I am fighting the guy they call 'The next Mike Tyson.' So give me some props, I am going to smash the kid.
