Coach Ben Davison believes that his warrior, a 20-year-old massive Moses Itauma, may become the first in Great Britain.

A great vision of the trainer

Davison doesn’t say when he thinks it’s possible. He mentions the potential fight for Itauma with the undisputed heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk as a match that could scold Kežmarok, born in Slovakia Itauma first in pounds for pounds.

It would be nice if the ITAUMA promoters begin to match it to younger heavyweight with real talents, instead of sticking to the elders who are Ready for scrap metalas we saw him many times. He has a plastic record, impressive at first glance, but when you look at the opposition he fought, there is nothing.

With the victories in Moses’ CV belongs to the bottom of the rankings, not in the first place, and his trainer artificially pumps him to get a pound status for a pound. His previous achievements are purely superficial.

Flimsy record iTauma

For a warrior who received so much noise and received a high ranking No. 1 from WBA and WBO, it is surprising that he is still fighting heavyweight at level C and D. Rate himself. This is the last six opponents of Ituma:

Dillian Whyte: 37
Mike Balogun: 41
Demey McKEAN: Nicked in the last fight
Mariusz Wach: 45
Ilja Mesce
And Garber: 40

“I don’t think this country [UK] He ever produced the best boxer in the world. I think we have the opportunity to do it. In heavyweight, except that we are talking about us fighting Usyk, in a British heavyweight, to be the best best boxer for pounds in the world, that’s what we have when it comes to Moses Itaum, “said coach Ben Davison to make Boxing TalkSport For his warrior, Moses Itauma.

Pound path for a pound

Before Davison wonders that Ituma is the best massive weight in the Milky Way Galaxy, it would be nice to see how he is still fighting with some massive at A level, right? Before Moses Itauma received the title of world champion on a silver plate against Uyk, I would like to see how he cut his teeth on this compact glove to see if he is ready for the king:

Joseph Parker
Fabio Wardley
Lenier, but
Filip Hrgovic

Well, if people from the Ring magazine panel are the same those who pushed Terenka Crawford to 1 pound for a pound after a narrow, non -spectacular victory over Canelo Alvarez last weekend, Ituma has a great chance to get the place in the first place.

It probably won’t happen until Crawford retires or beaten, unless Ituma does something spectacular. I have the impression that Bud will remain in this highest place, and can even sit in the position for the next year, if he decides to remain inactive for 13 months, his custom in the last two years.

"Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2 Live Fight Scorecard and Results - Boxing News"

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet for the WBO heavyweight title this evening in their highly-anticipated rematch.

It was back in May when Wardley was making the first defence of his WBO crown against Dubois, in a fight that turned out to be one of the best of the entire year.

‘DDD’ was knocked down twice early on, but was able to recover from those setbacks to dominate the action and inflict plenty of punishment on his rival, leading to the 11th round stoppage win to wrestle the belt away from Wardley.

Just five months on, the pair will meet again after Wardley activated his rematch clause, as the Ipswich man bids to reclaim his title at the first attempt.

He has a difficult task on his hands though, with many backing Dubois to come out on top once moreand potentially move on to unification battles with the likes of Agit Kabayel and former foe Filip Hrgovic.

Stay with Boxing News for a live scorecard, for as long as the fight lasts, and the official result as the British heavyweight duo do battle once more.

Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley fight result

Daniel Dubois TKO2.A destructive performance from Dubois. Back in May he had to recover from the first round knockdown, but this time around he returned the favour by dropping his rival early on and Wardley struggled to recover from that point onwards.

The Ipswich man managed to survive the opening round but it was more of the same in round two, with ‘DDD’ piling on even more pressure and landing a number of huge shots, forcing referee Steve Gray to jump in and stop the action, just as trainer Ben Davison was also throwing the towel in.

A huge statement from Dubois sent out to the rest of the banner division as he retains his WBO heavyweight title.
