Moses Itauma 'will wreck' Oleksandr Usyk claims Tyson Fury

Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) let the boxing world know he's arrived by obliterating Dillian Whyte in under two minutes on Saturday from Saudi Arabia on DAZN PPV.

Immediately, the question was, who's next for the 20-year-old phenom? If it were up to HE Turki Alalshikh and DAZN News, the opposition would be undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. A former Usyk foe feels Itauma would have an easier night at the office against the current champion. 

Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury took to his Instagram Stories on Sunday and declared that not only would Itauma beat everyone of the old men guard, albeit Fury didn't mention himself, but made a bold declaration of what he'd do to Usyk.

“I keep getting asked about young Moses Itauma fighting Oleksandr Usyk and fighting all the other big names," Fury said.

"My opinion is not someone who doesn’t know boxing. My opinion is someone who has been there and won every single belt. Won everything there is to win in boxing and done very well. Boxing is a young man’s game, like I told Wladimir Klitschko when he was 37. Boxing is a young man’s game. It waits for nobody. So here is the opinion, and you heard it here first.

"Moses Itauma will wreck all them all old men out of the division. Usyk, AJ, Miller. Whoever there is that’s old. Zhang, whoever else the f—k there is. Luis Ortiz. All these big names of the past.

"Even the man who took my belts. Usyk, Moses will wreck him because it’s a young man versus an old man. And an old man can’t mess with a young man."

Fury last fought in December, losing the rematch to Usyk by unanimous decision. The Brit has said he's retired, but Fury's teased a possible comeback in the future.
