Daniel Dubois beats Filip Hrgovic in IBF interim heavyweight clash to take a step towards heavyweight title bout.
The British boxer stopped Hrgovic in the eighth round in Riyadh on Sunday. Hrgovic’s bleeding was unstoppable from a cut on the eye before referee John Latham intervened and ended the fight 57 seconds into the round.
