The story of the heavyweight division is obvious, and has been clear for some time. Oleksandr Usyk is the king and is more and more inconceivable to de-throne. Usyk is 38 years previous, although, and he’ll quickly should make manner for the subsequent king. In his eyes, Moses Itauma could also be that man.
The up-and-coming star is at present making ready to battle Dillian Whyte in his most high-profile bout to this point. Promoter Frank Warren is already lining up Itauma’s path to a world title. If he will get previous Whyte, Warren likes Otto Wallin, Filip Hrgovic or Zhilei Zhang throughout the subsequent yr. After that, something is feasible. Maybe even a bout in opposition to Usyk.

Moses Itauma’s coach says a battle with Usyk could be a “win-win” for everybody
Whereas Itauma prepares to face Whyte, the thought of preventing Usyk naturally got here up. Itauma’s coach, Ben Davison, was requested about that chance this week. He was all for it, calling it a “win-win” for everybody concerned.
You get the prospect to face the perfect of a technology, if not the perfect ever. I feel it is a win-win. As a lot as Moses hasn’t shared the ring with any person like Usyk, to be actually sincere, I do not assume Usyk has shared the ring with any person like Moses. He’s a considering fighter. He is capable of course of, to come back again and discuss to you within the nook. We’re solely centered on [Whyte], however there may be not a battle [we would avoid].
At this level, Itauma would possibly really be the one heavyweight able to giving Usyk a run for his cash. Usyk has made straightforward work of the highest canine. Itauma is not less than very younger with little tread on his tires, and hasn’t put a lot of his abilities on tape but.
Nonetheless, the 20-year-old is not prepared for that degree simply but. A win in opposition to Whyte adopted by a pair extra convincing performances might get him there, although.
