Hrgovic accepted Parker's offer. They will fight on the undercard of the Joshua vs. Ngannou boat

The mandatory challenger for the IBF title in the heavyweight division Filip Hrgovic, has accepted an offer from former heavyweight champion, New Zealander Joseph Parker, to face off in a match.

The boxers will enter the ring on the undercard of the fight between former champion heavyweight Anthony Joshua and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. The event is set to take place on March 8 in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh.

"I'm very happy to hear that. I'm ready, I accept your offer Joe, let's do it." Hrgovic has replied.

It's worth noting that Hrgovic currently holds the number one position in the IBF rankings. In December, the Croatian secured a convincing victory over Marko De Mori with a technical knockout in the first round.

On the same night, Parker unexpectedly defeated Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision.
