Oleksandr Usyk vs Moses Itauma - Major Manny Pacquiao rival makes emphatic prediction

Moses Itauma’s stock increased this past weekend when he scored the biggest win of his short career by disposing of Dillian Whyte in the opening round .  

The former world title challenger had been expected to provide Itauma with much required rounds, but his efforts to cause a shock were destroyed immediately as Itauma wasted little time getting to work on Whyte. 

After dropping his British rival, Whyte appeared unsteady and after he slumped in the corner, the referee made the wise call to bring the fight to an end. 

After the fight was over, the attention switched to what will come next for Itauma with the young heavyweight linked to several high profile names. 

One potential fight could be against Oleksandr Usyk  for all the heavyweight glory, and although some believe Itauma is ready for that contest, Tim Bradley has other ideas. 

“Young gun isn’t ready for Usyk. He hasn’t done nothing to make me know,” said Bradley, a former two weight world champion, when speaking on his YouTube channel . 

“This dude hasn’t been past six rounds yet. That’s exactly what Usyk would do if he fights him. He would drown him.” 

“Moses Itauma, you’re looking like the real deal, but you’re not ready. There’s only one Oleksandr Usyk. The skills aren’t there in the heavyweight division. It’s not like the 90s. It’s not like the 80s. It’s not even like the 70s. Dillian Whyte had a puncher’s chance.”
