Moses Itauma predicts that she intends to knock out Dillian Whyte “Quite speedy” On Saturday evening in Riyadh. Ituma promoted by Queensberry (12-0, 10 KO) says that it will be Ko Whyte (31-3, 23 KO), if it follows the “game plan” in a 12-round grade to Dazn PPV. The event costs USD 49.99.
In the first place in WBO, despite zero wins over credible opponents, 20-year-old Ituma is excited as another British hefty weight and is already fighting for PPV.
“Quite speedy” knockout claim
“If the side of the game, I should do it,” said Moses Ituma BoxnatioN asked if he believes that he would knock out Dillian Whyte on Saturday. “Quite speedy. I don’t know if speed suits me. Whatever they have, I will come prepared. I can’t wait for rock and roll. “
Opponents of Ituma were terribly bad
Who knocked out Ituma, which makes him believe that he will stop Dillian so quickly? 45-year-old Mariusz Wach? 41-year-old Mike Balogun? The opposition, which was fed by Queensberry Ituma, was terribly incensed.
“It doesn’t matter to me. I still get the same if I sell 10 tickets or 50 tickets. You want me to recognize everything and put pressure on myself,” said Ituma.
“It was not a 16-week camp for Dillian Whyte. I had a 16-week camp in general, because I fell in love with Mike Balogun, who of course was a complex training session and a complex camp,” said Ituma. “Even if the opponent was not the biggest, I still had to train as it was. The training camp was still complex. I had a week, and then I returned straight to the training camp.”
Did Ituma really train for 16 weeks?
The Itauma sleeping is still plumping for someone who has gone through a 16-week camp. If he really was in the training camp for so long, he could not cross the boundaries of cardio and diet, because he still shows a lot of fat around his frame.
If he trained difficult, this fat would not be there. With the way Ituma is pumped as another great weight, it must be complex to give him tips as a trainer. How to make him do something if he feels that he only goes through movements? Again, Ituma does not resemble a warrior who passed a 16-week camp.
Dillian Whyte’s hazard
“I think it’s a completely different version of Dillian. I think he will try to box because he lost weight. Of course, he won’t try to knock me out or throw me away in the first rounds. He won’t want to break with me, because he can’t do it for 10 rounds. So I think he tried me.
Whyte has a type of power to go to war with Itaum for 10 to 12 rounds. We do not know how well Ituma can do a blow, because his opposition is so impoverished, both at amateur and professional levels. Whyte could knock out Itauma if something tightly lands in this fight. It is really for the first time in Ituma that he fought with a blow.
Is Ituma sold out?
If you look at the entries of ITAUMA opponents during his low amateur career, it’s shocking like impoverished. He never reached the level of fighters usually seen in the best amateurs.
At the professional level, Ituma was adapted to strictly smaller fighters by his promoters in Queensberry, but he was excited, as if he was dealing with killers. This makes you suspicious that he is sold to the audience as better than he.
Given the noise that ITAUMA received, he should have been fighting a better opposition. In Great Britain, it is different than in the United States to receive the praise and advertisement that ITAUMA receives, he would have to fight the killers if he was an American.
Next month, Ryan Garcia will go toe-to-toe with Conor Benn in the first defence of his WBC welterweight title, and now former pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford has doubled down on his prediction for the clash.
Crawford hung up the gloves whilst recognised as the pound-for-pound number one in December, but that has not stopped ‘Bud’ from developing a heated rivalry with Garcia since his retirement, with the pair making regular jibes at one another in recent months.
Garcia has now revealed his intentions to tempt the undefeated southpaw out of retirement if he retains his title against Benn, but the Omaha-born sensation has declared his belief that Garcia will lose his belt to the Briton, favouring the challenger’s size and power.
Now, as fight week edges closer, Crawford has once again insisted that Benn will pull off the upset, as he told Fight Hub TV that he is picking ‘The Destroyer’ to come out on top.
“It’s going to be a good fight. I got Conor Benn!”
Benn will be competing at welterweight for the first time in nearly five years, looking to wrestle away the belt that Garcia won back in February with a win over Mario Barrios.
The event takes place on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and on the undercard, Jai Opetaia is set to take on current WBC cruiserweight world champion Noel Mikaelian.
It currently remains to be seen whether the Armenian will still be the reigning titleholder when fight night comes around though, due to rumours that Mikaelian will be stripped for avoiding a fight with David Benavidez.
Terence Crawford faced and defeated 42 different opponents during a 17-year career, but super-middleweight icon Carl Froch believes that there is one welterweight who would have put an end to Crawford’s unbeaten streak if they were to meet in their primes.
Crawford became the first post-war boxer to claim the undisputed title in three separate weight divisions last September; a run which began as a super-lightweight in 2015 by defeating Thomas Dulorme, then unifying against Viktor Postol before halting Julius Indongo in an undisputed title showdown.
‘Bud’ then moved on to the welterweight scene and knocked out Jeff Horn to capture the WBO world title on his 147lb debut, making five defences of the title before colliding with fierce rival and three-belt unified titleholder, Errol Spence Jr, in 2023.
In a unforgettable fight, Crawford brutally beat Spence down in an authoritative ninth-round stoppage win to capture the undisputed welterweight throne. Talk then turned to an unprecedented three-weight move up to super-middleweight to take on Canelo Alvarez.
After stopping off at super-welterweight to dethrone Israil Madrimov on his way up, Crawford debuted at super-middleweight in a challenge for Canelo’s undisputed crown and outboxed the Mexican superstar in an iconic win last year, hanging up the gloves three months later.
Despite those legendary achievements, Froch picked Floyd Mayweather Jr to come out on top in a potential fantasy fight against the Omaha southpaw, in an episode of ‘Froch on Fighting’.
Mayweather’s achievements speak for themselves, retiring with a perfect 50-0 unbeaten record after claiming world honours in five divisions, with his most impressive reign coming at 147lbs, where he defeated the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley.
Mayweather has been rumoured to make a comeback, but while there would be huge finances that would be on offer, Crawford has revealed that he would have no interest in ending his retirement for a bout with ‘TBE’, believing that the 49-year-old is ‘old’ and ‘done’.
Terence Crawford has been hailed by many as the best fighter of this generation following his retirement, and now WBC welterweight title hopeful Conor Benn has shared how he thinks ‘Bud’ would have fared against six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya.
Crawford became boxing’s sixth five-division world champion with an iconic win over Canelo Alvarez back in September; joining Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in that elite and exclusive club reserved only for legends of the sport.
Of that group, only De La Hoya and Pacquiao have gone on to conquer a sixth division, with De La Hoya’s 2004 WBO middleweight world title win over Felix Sturm seeing the Californian become the first boxer to ever become a sextuple champion.
Crawford could have joined ‘’The Golden Boy’ and ‘Pac-Man’ in achieving that feat, having been offered a middleweight world title shot during the aftermath of his triumph over Canelo late last year – a proposal which later fell apart due to a failed doping test by Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Continuing the praise that the Omaha-born southpaw has received since announcing his retirement last December, Benn told Daily Mail Boxing that he would favour the undefeated star to get the better of De La Hoya, if they were to meet in their primes.
Benn also went on to predict that Crawford would retain his unbeaten streak against other greats of the game, picking him to come out on top against each of Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker and Roberto Duran.
