Filip Hrgovic does not see the end of his career in sight. "I think I have a lot of fights left," the 34-year-old IBF heavyweight champion told Ring Magazine. "I want to unify. I don't know the exact number of fights, but I think I can be here for five more years."
Hrgovic won the vacant IBF title on 29 August at London's O2 Arena by stopping Moses Itauma in the ninth round. According to Ring Magazine, he is expected to face mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez next – though Hrgovic stressed that could still change.
He named the winner of the 17 October WBO title rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, and WBC champion Agit Kabayel, as other options. The video shows highlights of his title win over Itauma on 29 August.
