Speaking to iFL TV, Hrgovic revealed he favours Dubois to get the job done on May 9, and become a two-time heavyweight champion:
“Yeah, I give him the advantage. I think that he will win,” said Hrgovic.
Revealing his own hopes for the future, Hrgovic said: “I want to have a rematch with him [Dubois] one day.”
“That [rematch for the WBO world title] would be great but I don’t think that is happening because I am not from Great Britain. You motherf***ers give your guys all of the opportunities!”
