Two unbeaten heavyweights have been added to Saturday’s card at the O2 Arena in London.
Queensberry announced that Nelson Hysa will face Thomas Narmo over ten rounds on the Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic undercard. Hysa is 24-0 with 22 knockouts. Narmo is 14-0 and has stopped every opponent he has faced.
Narmo’s most notable win came against Mario De Mori, a veteran with more than 40 professional victories who has shared a ring with Hrgovic and David Haye. Narmo stopped him 17 seconds into the fourth round.
Hysa was linked with Tyson Fury earlier this year, but Fury instead took on Mariusz Wach and stopped him in seven rounds in Thailand.
The rest of the card includes Sam Noakes against former WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk, and Guido Vianello against Moses Jolly. Noakes lost a competitive decision to Abdullah Mason in a world title attempt last November. Berinchyk has not fought since Keyshawn Davis stopped him in February 2025. Vianello, making his Queensberry debut, has beaten Arslanbek Makhmudov inside the distance and stopped Alexis Barriere in five in his last outing.
The main event is for the vacant IBF heavyweight title, which Oleksandr Usyk gave up in June. Itauma is 21 and 14-0. A win would make him the second-youngest heavyweight champion in history behind Mike Tyson. Hrgovic is 34 and 20-1, his only loss coming to Daniel Dubois in 2024.
The card is on DAZN pay-per-view, with the main card starting at 6.30 pm BST and the main event expected around 10 pm.
