What’s next for Alen Babic?

The ‘Savage’ has been one of the most active fighters in the post lockdown period. He has fought three times and could be fighting soon. Eddie Hearn suggested that he may fight on the re-scheduled Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin card. ‘The Body Snatcher’ manages Babic so it will be easy to make that happen.

Babic himself will be ready to fight anyone. However, despite having a 100% KO rate, he is only six fights into his professional career. Maybe fans could see him fight another heavyweight on the rise in Filip Hrgovic.

That would make for a fantastic fight and could be the defining point for both fighters. Whether he fights Hrgovic or not, boxing enthusiasts can expect some fireworks from Alen Babic the next time we see him in the ring. What did you make of his latest win?
