Moses will bite the rank No. 1: farce?
Published
11 hours agoon

President WBO Gustavo Olivieri revealed that in the evening that Moses Ituma was raised to the first place in heavyweight rankings along with their organization after winning in the second round on the unknown Mike Balogun on Saturday evening in Glasgow in Scotland.
Fans in social media are critical of the WBO decision and perceive it as bizarre and are a sign Ituma receives favoring by their organization, because he was not defeated by any contenders. His 12 victories had a lower level fighters at the level, and he has not yet fought with a claimant to the best 15. After his fight he looked ecstatic with the ring.
Controversy growth of Ituma
This is another reason why sanctioning bodies must be withdrawn from boxing and replaced by the ranking body, which makes logical choices. Like, hell, Moses Itauma takes first place after he did not beat anything Tomato cans His whole two -year career? Does he ask too much to beat two of these killers to get their ranking No. 1 in WBO?
– Joseph Parker
– Agit Kabayel
– Richard Torrez
– Bakhodir Jalalov
– Filip Hrgovic
– Martin Bakole
The way ITAUMA appeared against this person, Balogun, lost to the whole list. This is just a tiny list of rivals who would defeat Itauma.
It makes no sense that 20-year-old Ituma takes first place in WBO, because there is no victory over pretenders. Usually this is a requirement to transfer the warrior to position No. 1. They have at least one or two solid wins over the fighters at the highest level.
It seems that Ituma has been taken to the top, ignoring the role in which he should defeat the candidates to win ranking No. 1. When it comes to quickly placing him No. 1 so that he can fight Oleksandre Usyk before retiring, it is a waste of time.
Usyk will not fight him because he is interested in fighting Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury before he retires. It will not give an undisturbed warrior, such as Ituma, a shot for the world champion.
In today’s fight Itauma (12-0, 10 KO) destroyed the 36-year-old Balogun footballer (21-2, 16 KO), who never defeated anyone noteworthy. His previous defeat in his CV was a knockout of the second round of Murat Gassiev in 2023. This was another example of Ituma tailored to the non-contact.
Criticism of Martin Bakole
“Yes, he was doing well, but they got him someone who was an asshole,” said Martin Bakole Social boxingResponding to the winning of Moses Itauma over Mike Balogun on Saturday evening.
“At a high level they have to give him a good test, because he is not called Martin Bakole fighting with such a butt. He must fight some high -quality people and try to test himself if he wants to become a world champion tomorrow.
“I never remember his name. I don’t know who he was,” Bakole said when he said that Ituma watched some of his fights and said that he looked like rubbish. “I’m thinking of getting five or six. I don’t know if she is 10 the best, but she is a boxer, hefty weight
Moses ITAUMA climbed WBO rankings with talents, discipline and electrifying performances. Now his moment around the world is approaching a heavyweight player. It is only a matter of time before he got his shot and the world appears a fresh star. #NEWER @Shoe

Gareth A. Davies believes that Tyson Fury can Live to regret it If he does not leave a pension to fight Anthony Joshua. It is possible that Fury’s decision, to stay retired, play safely, can torment him later in his life for not showing courage to take the clash of Joshua when he had a chance.
Fury likes to talk about himself as a warrior ready for war, but his actions suggest that he is afraid to go to the front line and risk his skin. He would prefer someone else to take all the risk when he stays in R&R, eating caviar, living an effortless life.
Millions lost: selfish choice
The attitude of “Gypsy King” has a lack of return, it is perceived as selfish, because he can earn $ 150-200 million for two fights with AJ. He could create with the cake Dynasty similar to Rockefeller Down Future generations of the Fury family.
Last week, there was a two -time heavyweight champion of Fury sounded challenging, speaking on social media, “Why would I come back? I am retired and I am retired. I have nothing to prove to anyone and nothing to return. “After losing the last two fights with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury seems to be an sore loser, behaving like a bitter victim.
Pay attention to selfish, abstaining attitudes?
“Considering what is said about Tyson, there is ambivalence about Tyson,” said Gareth Davies Boxing TalkSport About the retirement of Tyson Fury. “He said he was” demolished “. It seems to me that there are no nodules in his career. [pounds] at the bank. He has generational wealth there. “
Unrealized wealth of the Fury
Tyson certainly has generational wealth, but he could double this number if he showed the courage and ambition to return to two fights with Joshua and the trilogy against Oleksander Usyk. Assuming that Tyson wins his two fights with a faded AJ, he could end the $ 500 million of fortune until retirement.
“It would be huge and it would be a two -fighting agreement. You can open the Riyada season in October.” I could prove something. I should prove something, “said Gareth, about how Fury does not leave a pension to fight Anthony Joshua.

Devin Haney reacted negatively to the loss of the former undisputed welterweight master Josh Taylor from Ekow Essuman, mocking him in social media, calling him “boy” “s **** y” and showing emoji garbage. Taylor (19-3, 12 KO) lost the third straight fight from 2023.
Last Saturday evening, Taylor lost a 12-round unanimous decision for Essuman (22-1, 8 KO) before his family crowd at SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The results were 116-112, 116-113 and 116-113.
There was talk about the fight of Haney and Taylor, but nothing came of it. Among Josh Haney, after his loss he suggests that he still has bad blood.
Devin Haney’s insult
“Wow, Josh Taylor .. S **** Boy 🗑️,” said Devin Haney XResponding to the performance of Josh Taylor against Ekow Essuman on Saturday evening in Glasgow.
The former world champion with two Haney divisions (32-0, 15 KO) had difficulty defeating Jose Ramirez on May 2 at Times Square, Fresh York. Haney received broad criticism from fans for putting tedious effort, running around the ring all night, trying to stop.
Fans in social media destroyed Haney, saying that he was “afraid” to be hit by the faded united welterweight master. They felt that Devin was simply a shell of what he was before losing to Ryan Garcia and that he was permanently ruined. The consensus is that Haney was not so good.
Taylor defeated Ramirez by 12-round decision in 2021 to capture the unquestionable championship of 140 pounds.
34 -year -old Taylor was a favorite of the fight in his debut in 147. It was believed that he would cope with a hard but circumscribed Esuman without too many problems, but he lacked the engine in the second half to get a victory. It was a difference in combat. Taylor was technically better, but Essuman had a better gas tank.
Haney’s next fight
Haney has no opponent set for another fight. Entering the Times Square party, she talked that Devin would fight Ryan Garcia in October. It seems that this is now turned off, taking into account the loss of Ryan Rolando Romero on the card on May 2 and the shy, ponderous performance of Haney against Ramirez.

Promoter of Moses Itauma, Francis Warren, says that he is interested in Itauma (12-0, 10 KO), probably fighting with Otto Wallin or Jermaine Franklin, after the second technical knockout of Mike Baloguna last Saturday evening in Glasgow in Scotland.
Next ITAUMA fight options
Wallin lost two of the last four fights and is experiencing a 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisor. Most fans would agree that Wallin would be a impoverished option for Itum to fight when it comes to developing him and give him. I have doubts whether it would be the goal of the management of Ituma in battle. The choice of Wallin, 34, would make itauma look good.
Francis also says he wants “Top 10“The opponent of Ituma in a bulky eliminator. The utilize of Wallin or Jermaine Franklin would not work if this path was followed. None of these journeymen were in the top ten by any of the four sanctioning bodies, and Franklin is not in the top 15.
Ituma is not ideal to go on an effortless way to become a must -have winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois. 20-year-old Ituma is not developed, and impoverished supplies are constantly performed for it. This is criticism of boxing fans about Ituma.
Creating a false star
Ituma looks like it was created to make it look better than he. The opposition stuck to the ring so that Moses suggested to fight Is produced Be a false star.
The problem of this type of fighters is that they must be protected throughout their career to stop them from losing. We just saw another false Fury, repeatedly beaten, when he finally approached for the first time at the end of his career against his first quality warrior, Oleksandr Utyk.
In order for Ituma to be developed in a real way, he should fight these warriors for the next two or three years:
– Joseph Parker
– Agit Kabayel
– Zhilei Zhang
– Jalolov Yalolov
– Richard Torrez Jr.
– flying
– Filip Hrgovic
– Fabio Wardley
– Martin Bakole
It does not seem that the leadership of Moses Itum is interested in matching him to any of these warriors, except for the miserably poorly conditioned 300-pound bacon. I doubt Ituma would beat up to half of the above warriors, because he was hit and looked like Mike Balogun’s former NFL player last night.
Matchmaking: Smoke & Mirrors
“We want to fight someone in the top ten, and it would be an eliminator. I’m sure we’ll be able to do it,” said Francis Warren Boxnation About the next fight of Moses Itaum. “I think Otto Wallin would be great Fight for him next. “
Wallin would be a terrible choice because he can’t hit, a failure of Chisora and probably would not give ituma rounds. Otto was knocked out in five rounds by Anthony Joshua in 2023. He was dropped twice by the washed Chisor in February last year. This tells you everything you need to know why Wallin would be chosen for the next opponent of Itum. It is an effortless sign and would not be a threat to the disclosure of 20-year-old Moses.
“Otto proved that he is a very strong, difficult opponent who gained respect from the boxing community because of the work he did against Tyson [Fury]Anthony [Joshua]Francis said. “He gave Derek [Chisora] A great fight and for Moses who wants to get a little is probably a great challenge. Jermaine Franklin is another one that I particularly like the appearance. By the end of the year, we will want to accelerate it much. “
Franklin has lost two of the last four fights and is not a ranking. ITAUMA management should be intentional higher than he and Wallin. Again, they should focus on matching Ituma to warriors such as Kabayel, Torrez Jr, Jalolov, Dubois, Ajagba and Wardley. If Ituma loses with these guys, his promoters can focus on developing him more. Until now, zero development has been made. He is fed with tomato cans to make it look great, but it is obvious that it is smoke and mirrors.
Bakole: not the level of ituma
“We get number 1 from WBO,” said Francis about the fact that Ituma is moved to the first place by the World Boxing Organization. “It is the best of WBA. It is, so we sit nicely with two organizations and I think it depends on us when we want to pull the trigger to raise our hands to go to the next stage.”
It is surprising that Ituma was raised to number 1 with WBO after he was a warrior without TOP 15, Balogun. How is this happening? Ituma has not yet fought with a pretender and probably should not be arranged at the highest level, taking into account the impoverished opposition he mowed. Ituma is matched, like Edgar Berlanga, when he promoted him the highest rank. At the beginning of his careers, they fed 16 unyielding, allowing him to create a 16-0 record with 16 knockouts. When he approached the journeymen, he began to fight and soon left the company. Ituma is moved like him.
“Choosing Martin Bakole is a large mistake. Even Frank [Warren] He knows that I am not his level – said Martin Bakole for boxing TalkSport, he explains that he considers Moses Itauma as under his level at which he works. “I can’t wait to fight for the world championship title. If I want to fight me, I don’t know why I would fight him. For what?”
