Future Paths for Heavyweights Usyk, Joshua, Itauma, and Fury
Moses Itauma, a promising heavyweight from Britain, continues to make waves in the boxing world. The 20-year-old rising star holds an impressive record of 13 wins, including 11 knockouts. In August, he secured his latest victory, stopping the experienced Dillian Whyte in the first round. This decisive win has sparked considerable interest in Itauma’s future matchups.
Future Paths for Heavyweight Fighters
As Itauma looks to build on his success, potential future fights are on the horizon. He has been linked with bouts against notable heavyweights including:
- Filip Hrgovic
- Michael Hunter
- David Adeleye
December Fights and Uncertainties
Team Itauma is exploring a fight in December, with a notable suggestion from Derek Chisora. Chisora hinted at the possibility of sharing a card with Itauma on December 13 in Manchester. However, this date now faces uncertainty.
Additionally, WBA ‘regular’ champion Kubrat Pulev was ordered to defend his title against Itauma on October 14. Yet, Pulev has opted to fight Murat Gassiev on December 12 instead. This development means both parties have a 30-day window to negotiate a deal.
Promoter’s Insights and Future Matchups
Frank Warren, Itauma’s promoter, emphasized the necessity of a fight with Pulev. He noted that London and Manchester are possible locations for the matchup. Itauma has also been mentioned as a prospective opponent for the undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk. However, Usyk has dismissed these speculations recently.
Chisora and Whyte’s Future
Chisora’s future is also generating attention. He recently appeared with Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller at the O2 Arena, discussing potential matchups. Viewers were intrigued when asked about a third fight with Whyte, to which Chisora replied affirmatively, stating it will “100% happen in December” if the contract is right.
As developments unfold in the heavyweight division, fighters like Itauma, Chisora, and Whyte are setting the stage for an exciting series of fights ahead.
