Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte make final predictions ahead of showdown

British heavyweights Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte have made their final predictions before their main event in Riyadh. 

Taking place tonight, live on DAZN PPV, Itauma and Whyte will battle it out for a chance to be in pole position to challenge for a world title. 

Itauma, who is undefeated in his 12 professional fights with 10 knockouts, is the favourite against the more experienced Whyte.

However, while Itauma has been an unstoppable force, he is yet to be tested, and Whyte could fulfil this task, especially if he makes it a scrappy affair.

Giving his prediction on DAZN's Face Off, Itauma is confident that he can get the win, but he is wary of the dangers going away from his gameplan will bring. 

"A Moses Itauma victory," Itauma began.

"If I stick to the gameplan, that should be enough.

"If I get pulled into a dogfight, Dillian Whyte will win. He might do and that means I’m not boxing to my gameplan."

Whyte on the other hand is keeping his cards close to his chest when it comes to his prediction.

His demeanour throughout the build-up has been someone who does not really care about a contest which could signal the end of his boxing career if things do not go his way, and this was on show when asked by presenter Ade Oladipo to give his thoughts on the fight. 

"Let’s get to Saturday night and see," Whyte said.

"You guys are the experts, I’ve seen your prediction.

"It’s boxing. In boxing, people’s memories are short, you’re the man in the moment in boxing.

"It’s a number and name in the moment."
