Adeleye, AKA “Big D”, will prove no pushover for Hrgovic with the Londoner boasting a record of 14-1 and ranking at No9 in the WBO heavyweight rankings.
Hehas recently seen his reputation rise following impressive victories against both Jeamie TKV – where he won the British heavyweight title – and Solomon Dacres.
The 28-year-old star will be eager to overcome the odds with Hrgovic being branded as the strong favourite.
Hrgovic himself will not be looking to entertain any underdog story as El Animal intends on building momentum after his well fought win against Joe Joyce in April.

Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte – all the info
One of the biggest fights of the year has arrived
The highly-touted Moses Itauma faces the biggest test of his fledgling career as he steps into the ring with Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
Itauma, 20, has great expectations on his shoulders – he has been compared to Mike Tyson and is expected by many to dominate boxing’s heavyweight division over the next decade.
But the Slovakian-born star – who sits at 12-0 (10KOs) is yet to face a test anywhere close to what Whyte can offer.
The Body Snatcher is now 37 and has not looked great in his last couple of fights, but the former world title challenger knows an upset win would catapult him right back to the top table.
