Hrgovic rubbishes Itauma 'puzzles' at launch conference
Zayas vs. Ennis: Watch only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Moses Itauma has suggested Filip Hrgovic is a puzzle to be solved - but the Croatian says he does not believe in such tactics.
The pair will contest a heavyweight slugfest on August 29 at London's The O2 Arena, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate.
Victory for Itauma, unbeaten across his pro career, will confirm his status as one of the glamour division's most shrewd warriors.
Speaking at Monday's launch conference, the Briton suggested that his path to victory will come through an analytical approach.

"Boxing for me, it's like a puzzle," he said. "I believe that with the right preparation, I don't think that there is a puzzle I can't solve."
Hrgovic pushed back on such suggestions however, offering a curious response when he countered: "I don't believe in puzzles.
"There are two men inside the ring, two warriors, and the question is who has more will, determination, courage and desire to win.
"That's how I look at boxing. I don't believe in puzzles and strategies and tactics and gameplans. It's two different approaches."
