Moses Itauma Vs. Dillian Whyte Preview

Moses Itauma takes on Dillian Whyte on August 16 in a heavyweight clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as we preview this upcoming fight.

Itauma has a professional record of 12-0 with 10 knockouts. His last eight victories have come within the first two rounds. His most recent outing was a first-round stoppage win against Mike Balogun in May. Under the tutelage of Ben Davison, Itauma is looking to secure his best win on paper over Whyte. 
Whyte, who is now 37 years old, has a professional record of 31-3, including 21 knockouts. Whyte has shared the ring with the biggest names in the division, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. After a brief suspension over a failed test after which he was cleared, Whyte returned to the ring, securing stoppage victories over Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh. 

"We’ve got the ultimate respect for Dillian and we will prepare diligently and we are expecting a tough fight. “II think this is the best era in the history of British heavyweight boxing. Dillian has been a significant part of that with his rivalry with Anthony Joshua and he’s boxed [Tyson] Fury and had great fights with Derek Chisora. “He has been a significant part of that so everyone is looking at Moses as the next one and the next key figure in the next generation of not just British heavyweights but world boxing," Ben Davidson said

"All I’ve done in my life is fight and struggle, fight and struggle, fight and struggle, fight and struggle, fight and struggle. So it’s what I know how to do. I’ve had to learn to be a better human being. But fighting … and being amongst animals, are the two things that I know to do best," Whyte said
