Unbeaten British heavyweight added to Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic undercard in late change

Welsh fighter Moses Jolly has been booked to fight on the Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic undercard.

Itauma can become the second-youngest world heavyweight champion after Mike Tyson when he fights Croatia’s Hrgovic for the vacant IBF title in London on August 29.

And the 21-year-old, who many are backing to become a future undisputed champion, will now be joined on the card by a fellow undefeated British heavyweight.

Jolly to fight Guido Vianello in London

Jolly has been matched against newly signed Queensberry talent Guido Vianello after a deal for the Italian to fight Britain’s David Adeleye collapsed.

Adeleye confirmed earlier this month that he would not sign a new deal with Frank Warren‘s promotion after seven years and is currently a free agent.

So Queensberry had to figure out a different path for Vianello, who is now set to take on Swansea’s Jolly.

“Guido Vianello is set for a Jolly-bust up in the capital,” the promotion announced on Monday.

It is a big step up for Jolly, who is undefeated in 12 professional bouts.

Jolly defeated 24-year-old Will Howe in his last fight three months ago and has contested just three bouts since the summer of 2024.

Vianello, meanwhile, has already fought and defeated some of the world’s best heavyweights, including Tyson Fury‘s former foe Arslanbek Makhmudov.

The 32-year-old from Rome, 14-3-1 in the sweet science, knocked out Canada’s Alexis Barriere in October 2025 and took Richard Torrez Jr and Efe Ajagba the distance in his last two defeats.

Vianello vs Jolly makes it a four-fight undercard in London at the end of this month.

Sam Noakes vs Denys Berinchyk at lightweight, Aloys Junior’s cruiserweight bout against Mike Perez and Constantin Ursu vs Ben Vaughan for the British and Commonwealth welterweight titles are the other three that have been announced.

Malignaggi says Itauma is ‘future’ of boxing

Previewing the biggest fight of Itauma’s career thus far, former world champion Paulie Malignaggi told talkSPORT what the youngster must do to become boxing’s biggest star.

“I think Itauma has the potential to be the future of the sport and the future of the division,” Malignaggi said.

“But without being able to fight these big names, it’s going to slow down his rise to popularity.

“He’ll have a rise to stardom and become a champion, but he has to try and get the old generation of fighters in the ring with him.”
