Itauma has been utterly sensational in racing to a 12-0 pro record with 10 of his victories coming inside the first two rounds. His CV is full of highlight-reel finishes and it has the experts absolutely drooling over his potential.
Already ranked number one by the WBO (World Boxing Organization), a world title shot is not too far away for this brilliant talent, with Saudi power broker Turki Alalshikh saying a showdown with current king Oleksandr Usyk is THE fight boxing wants.
On Friday in Riyadh we get the final major milestone before fight night as the two fighters weigh in, and here are all the details, and the chance to watch it all live, for free.
It should answer one fascinating question – just how light is Dillian Whyte? ‘The Body Snatcher’ appears trimmer than ever, remember he was 261lbs (18st 9lbs) for his last outing vs Ebenezer Tetteh last December.
Itauma meanwhile was 254lbs (18st 2lbs) when he blasted out American Mike Balogun inside two rounds in Glasgow in May.
