Moses-Hrgovic upgraded to IBF title bout as Sanchez awaits victor

The Briton and the Croatian will face off on Saturday, August 29 for the major strap, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate.

Moses had originally been oredered to face Frank Sanchez for the belt following Oleksandr Usyk's decision to vacate his crown.

But instead, the Cuban has stepped aside in order to clear a pathway for the former against Hrgovic, and will face the winner next.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Queensberry Promotions boss Frank Warren addressed the opportunity as "a big moment" for Moses.

"A lot of people have high expectations of him," he said. "We signed him when he as 16. He's [...] sort of taken the world by storm.

"I'm confident he can do it. We lnow Hrgovic is going to come and give a hundred percent. [which] is hard work for anyone."

If triumphant, success for Moses could further tee up a possible all-British unification bout with Daniel Dubois or Fabio Wardley.

The former is set to defend the WBO crown he earned in a brutal May showdown against the latter in a rematch later this year.

"It would be huge, absolutely huge," Warren added. "These guys are big, punchers. They're exciting. They're not in boring fights."
