Get excited fight fans, British heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma is ready to fight again with his next date CONFIRMED.
The 20-year-old prodigy from Kent (11-0 as a professional) is seen by most experts as the next big thing in the sport’s marquee weight class – including his Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren.
And while time is running out for the man they call ‘Enriko’ to dethrone Mike Tyson as the youngest world heavyweight champion ever, it surely will not be soon before he contests one of the major belts.
Itauma has been absolutely devastating in his pro outings so far, his latest masterclass being a one-round demolition job on the game Australia Demsey McKean on the Usyk vs Fury 2 undercard in Saudi Arabia last December.
Moses Itauma next fight
Now Itauma is set to return to action next month, with a spot confirmed on the undercard for that Josh Taylor vs Ekow Essuman showdown on DAZN in Glasgow. Fight night is set for Saturday May 24.
Warren revealed that he had hoped Itauma would feature on this Saturday night’s Filip Hrgovic vs Joe Joyce card in Manchester, which kicks off Queensberry’s massive new partnership with DAZN.
He said: “Now it is looking like Scotland for him and we are looking to announce that next week. It will be a good chance to take him up there for the first time so he can show everyone what he can do. We are looking at options for an opponent now.”
Nine of Itauma’s wins so far have come inside the distance, with all of those victories coming inside two rounds. Put simply, the British prospect possesses boxing smarts beyond his tender years allied to incredible speed and power. A devastating pugilistic cocktail.
