Heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma is about to face his sternest challenge yet
The skyrocketing trajectory of Moses Itauma is about to face its sternest test yet.
According to The Ring, the undefeated heavyweight knockout artist will clash with battle-tested veteran Dillian Whyte in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on August 16.
A statement victory and the 20-year-old Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) will reach contender status toward a world title opportunity in the near future.
Itauma will enter the bout having won eight straight fights by the way of knockout, registering a second-round devastation of Mike Balogun in Glasgow, Scotland as his latest nightmarish display.
Even at 37, the experience and savvy that Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) brings, as a two-time interim heavyweight world champion and former heavyweight world title challenger, should mark a significant examination for Itauma to pass.
Since being flattened by Tyson Fury via sixth-round TKO back in April 2022, Whyte has pieced together a three-fight win streak, having last disposed of Ebenezer Tetteh in seven rounds.
