Carl Froch has weighed in on Moses Itauma’s chances against Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois as both of them could soon be ordered to face the rising star.

Before anything else Wardley must first defend his WBO title against Dubois on May 9, headlining the Queensberry show at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.

The 31-year-old was promoted from interim heavyweight champion to full heavyweight champion following his victory over Joseph Parker, which resulted in a stunning 11th-round finish last October.

Meanwhile, Dubois hasn’t fought since his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in July, when he was vacated as the IBF champion following an emphatic fifth-round stoppage.

As for Itauma, he will likely be considered the mandatory challenger for the WBO title, which puts him in line to fight the Wardley-Dubois winner.

The 21-year-old has a fifth-round advantage over Jermaine Franklin, who went down and was stopped for the first time in his career.

While Itauma has yet to establish himself at the world level, his performance in March suggests that Itauma is capable of competing with the likes of Wardley and Dubois.

In fact, Hall of Famer Froch expressed his opinion on his YouTube channel: Froch About the fightthat this uncompromising genius is more than ready for such a challenge.

“I think Moses beats them both. Obviously Daniel Dubois has that punch that can catch him, as does Fabio Wardley, but I just don’t think they’re good enough [to beat him].

“When you look at Itauma and his speed – footwork, punch combination… power – he is just very, very good.”

Itauma is scheduled to return to action on July 25which means his maiden world title shot – if it were to happen now – most likely won’t be for the WBO belt.

It’s also worth noting that Itauma trains at the same gym as Wardley, which is a clear obstacle to their potential fight.

Canelo Alvarez explained why he left the T-Mobile Arena just as David Benavidez was preparing for a ruthless performance against Gilberto Ramirez.

“The Mexican Monster” defeated Ramirez and became the three-weight world championwho was vacated of the WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles after a sixth-round stoppage.

Before the finish, Benavidez scored a fourth-round knockdown in his first 200-pound appearance, where his speed is a key advantage against a naturally larger opponent.

This became strikingly obvious to Ramirez, who had to climb to the canvas for the first time in his career.

There was little hope of an extraordinary turn of events as the 34-year-old fell to the floor for a second time and remained on his knee, suffering a nasty swelling in his right eye.

Shortly after raising his hand, Benavidez called out former undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo, who was only present for the undercard fight between Jaime Munguia and Armando Resendiz.

Supporting his stablemate, Alvarez watched as Munguia dethroned Resendiz by unanimous decision to win the WBA 168-pound world title.

But then Canelo didn’t feel like hanging around and talking Fighting Hub TV that he has no intention of watching the main event from ringside.

“I just came to see Jaime Mungia.”

While Canelo has never expressed much enthusiasm about their potential showdown, there still appears to be a glimmer of hope for Benavidez.

Either way, the WBC delicate heavyweight champion will likely drop back down to 175 pounds, perhaps in pursuit of an undisputed matchup with Dmitry Bivol.

“This guy is a little jealous of me,” Spence told KO Artist Sports. “You’re looking at me with PBC and Golden Boy. He’s jealous of me. The proof is in the pudding.”

Spence linked this idea to activity, noting that he can call for a fight and get it ready immediately, while Jermell Charlo can do without one.

“There’s a reason he didn’t fight and there’s a reason I can say, ‘Hey, I want a fight,’ and then I’ll fight tomorrow,” Spence said.

The Texas welterweight also questioned Charlo’s reputation among fans, suggesting that the lack of changes to his schedule is not a coincidence.

“People are tired of getting into fights with him,” Spence said. “Where can Jermell fight and sell out? He can’t fight in Houston and sell out. So where does he fight?”

Spence is definitely tapping into a narrative that has been buzzing around the boxing world for some time now. By admonishing Jermell for inaction, he hits a nerve because in this sport, staying on the field is almost as arduous as staying undefeated.

Spence highlights the harsh truth about the business side. While Jermell was undisputed at 154, Spence always had a more consistent pull. Even after a long break and a tough loss to Terence Crawford, Spence jumps right into his huge fight with Tim Tszyu on July 25.

Errol’s comment about Jermell not being able to sell Houston is a direct reflection of his status as a hometown attraction. Spence successfully packed AT&T Stadium in Texas and uses that as leverage to say that Jermell simply doesn’t have the “star power” to meet deadlines.

Spence added that the tension between the two could eventually be resolved in the ring, but did not give an exact date.
