Moses Itauma says he’ll be back after loss to Filip Hrgovic

Last night, Moses Itauma gave it his all to win the IBF heavyweight world championship, throwing the kitchen sink at Filip Hrgovic.

However, despite possessing sensational levels of talent, it was too much too soon, with the tough Croatian absorbing everything his rival threw at him before securing the stoppage in the ninth round.

After the fight, Itauma was rushed to hospital with an injury, and thus, hasn’t had much of a chance to voice his opinion on what went wrong. But now, he’s taken to social media to reflect on the biggest night of his career so far.

The Brit said: “Yesterday was not my night.

“We attempted greatness, and we just fell short to the more experienced man.

“I wanna say congratulations to Filip Hrgovic on his win, and although I never reached my desired outcome, I believe I gained experience that I’ll take to my future fights.

“I wanna thank my fans in and outside of the arena. You guys made it a little bit more special and electrifying than I expected. It was a good fight, and I wanna thank Queensberry and DAZN for putting this show on.

“So, God bless, take care, and I’ll be back.”
