Hopefully they can make this happen as it would be a great top level heavyweight. It should be fairly easily because of Hearn's decent relationship with Hunter and the Sauerland bros.
This was retweeted by Sauerland and Hunter himself.
Finally, a step up for Hrgovic to get himself in the top 10 mix and a solid opportunity for both to show that they're worthy of a title shot in after the current mandatories and unifications are dealt with.

Perfectly decent fight, although it would be nice if guys would actually fight solid B-listers instead of going straight from abject scrubs to top 10.
You're talking heavyweight, there's abject scrubs in the top 10.
He isnt going to make that.. and rightfully so, you cant expect a prospect to go from who hrgovic has fought to hunter. i use to realy rate hrgovic, But the best mover he has been in with might be Tom Little.... pisstake stepping strait to hunter.
Hrgovic needs stepping up, no more bad fights, but that dosent mean he has to fight contenders (he could now if he didnt fornicate around the last 2 years and stepped up incrementally)... 2021 4 fights, a top 75, couple of top 50s and a top 25 would be a nice touch for him. Just try copy yoka, he is doing it right...

Oh no, it wouldn't be much different. The best must fight the best.
Eddie Hearn might not be impressed with Michael Hunter, otherwise he wouldn’t have released him.
So perhaps the Matchroom boss possesses some insider knowledge that gives him confidence the fighter he co-promotes with Sauerland, Hrgovic, is capable of winning with minimal risk?
I was a big Hrgovic fan until about two years ago, before the calibre of opposition he was facing kind of flat-lined.
Since the start of 2019, he’s continued engaging in mismatches and wasn’t competing in progressively more challenging bouts. He kept being matched against the sort of opposition Mark De Mori faces!
Hrgovic’s last two outings were disgraceful mismatches and it’ll be interesting to see whether he’s able to make the jump from dominating grossly mismatched journeymen to defeating legitimate top-ten world-rated talent.
I really can’t predict the outcome of this fight, if it does come to fruition, because Hrgovic hasn’t been tested yet, but if he’s worthy of the hype and praise that has been prematurely bestowed upon him by fight fans, then he should score a late stoppage victory over his smaller foe.

i think hrgovic needs a fight like this we know he has good hands has good power, i dont like when he bobs his head to left i think he slow head movement, so i want to when he gets hit
Hrgović's ex-trainer Pijetraj was speaking about Hrgović-Babić fight in Croatia. he claimed that this would be a great spectacle, with full stadium. I agree with him, because Croatia is in my neighborhood, and I know their mentality very well.
Hrgović-Pijetraj relations are very bad now, and Pijetraj is still Babić's trainer. This fight might be very hot, and more lucrative for Hrgović.
