IBF gives final verdict on the status of the Dubois vs Hrgovic fight

In the bout between Croatian Filip Hrgović and Briton Daniel Dubois, the interim IBF world heavyweight championship title will be at stake.

This is the final decision of the IBF, which decided not to strip Oleksandr Usyk of his championship belt. Usyk became the undisputed world heavyweight champion this month by defeating Tyson Fury via split decision.

However, promoter Eddie Hearn had previously stated that the IBF championship belt could be on the line in a fight between Anthony Joshua and the winner of the Dubois-Hrgović bout.

Hrgović has stated his intention to defeat Dubois, then Joshua, and the winner of the rematch between Usyk and Fury.

The Daniel Dubois vs Filip Hrgović fight will take place tomorrow, June 1, in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
