‘Stone Man’ Filip Hrgovic has been dominating the heavyweight division since his inception into the professional circuit in 2017. Riding on an 11-fight win streak, the Croatian is not very far from earning a title shot. His upcoming fight against Rydell Booker is one of those matchups which will advance him towards that goal. However, it might not be a ‘walk in the park’ for him.

Considering Booker’s experience, he can bring a lot of challenges inside the ring. While Hrgovic is well known for his knockout abilities, he will also have to be ready for a long battle this weekend.

Meanwhile, Rydell Booker also has the chance to win the fight. Looking at his heavyweight resume, he has the capability to shock the world by being the first man to beat Hrgovic.

While the event already has a sensational main-event fight between Devin Haney and Yuriorkis Gamboa, the co-main event is equally alluring. Here’s how the fight can look like.

The 10-round battle will demand a lot from both the heavyweights inside the ring. The fight can either end early with a vicious knockout or it might go to the distance. Hrgovic and Booker need to be ready for every adversary.

Since both of them are orthodox, it will be a hard fight. Despite that, ‘Stone Man’ will seemingly be the aggressor. He also has a minor advantage in height that could serve him well as he aims to maintain his unbeaten run.

Being a heavyweight contest, one punch is enough to end the fight, but ‘Stone man’ will hunt for it throughout. If Booker gets lucky with one shot, he has the chance to shock the world.

It’s safe to believe that ‘Rock n Rye’ will desire to take the fight to the distance. In the meantime, he will constantly have to protect himself from Hrgovic’s aggression and will have to put pressure on him from his end.
