Filip Hrgovic stopped Moses Itauma. He took the IBF heavyweight title. That established him as the first Croatian heavyweight champion. Following the fight, Hrgovic declined to fight Frank Sanchez. Sanchez is the mandatory challenger. Hrgovic prefers a unification matchup instead. So Sanchez will have to wait. Hrgovic's next step remains unclear. But he was clear on one thing. Sanchez is not his priority.
