Moses Itauma (nickname 'Enriko') is seen by many as the future of boxing's heavyweight division - he is, quite simply, an incredible talent.
Still only 21 years old (he was born in Kežmarok, Slovakia on December 28, 2004), the young British prodigy boxing out of Chatham, Kent is the most exciting thing we've seen in many a long year.

For so long it seemed as if 'Enriko' (14-0 with 12 wins inside distance) might be the man to finally beat Mike Tyson's long-standing record of becoming the youngest ever boxing world heavyweight champion. That goal may have gone now, but the talk is he could yet challenge for a world title before the end of 2026.
He possesses rare ring IQ for one so young, allied to stunning speed and devastating power. Throw in unerring accuracy and it's a fearsome proposition for any other heavyweight out there.
Next Fight
Itauma does not have a confirmed next fight after his brutal fifth-round knockout of Jermaine Franklin in Manchester in March 2026.
Itauma record (14-0)
Like we said, Moses has a record of 14-0 in the pros (12 of those wins came by way of KO, and 11 of those KOs came inside the first two rounds).

Moses weighs anywhere between 235 and 250lbs so far in his pro career, and he weighed in at 242lbs (17st 4lbs) for the showdown with Franklin in March 2026.
Trainer
Itauma is currently trained by the highly-rated Ben Davison, who also trains Anthony Joshua.
Davison of course also masterminded the comeback in 2018 of one Tyson Fury.
Promoter
Moses is promoted by Hall of Famer Frank Warren and his Queensberry Promotions outlet. Warren knows a top heavyweight when he sees one, and he has long felt that Itauma is the next big thing in the division.
Family
Moses has a brother who is a pro boxer too - Karol, who plies his trade at light heavyweight.
Karol has a 13-1 pro record with 8 of those wins coming inside distance.
