Promoter Eddie Hearn says that he does not think that Moses Itauma will ever be able to compete with the popularity of Anthony Joshua during his 13-year professional career. Hearn notes that 20 -year -old Ituma is missing “Energy for igniting the room”.
Ituma has sleepy The way of speaking, cautious considering each word. It does not stand out like AJ and does not physically resemble the best massive weight.
Gapa charisma
“I don’t see anyone competing at the AJ level. Not in terms of skills, but just draw. We’ve never seen it before. But don’t forget that AJ won Olympic gold in London [in 2012]. This is a hellish beginning – said the president of the matches Eddie Hearn Down Boxing TalkSport Asked if Moses Itauma could become a great star, like Anthony Joshua.
The ITAUMA fighting style is not as invigorating to watch as Joshua was at the beginning of his career, when he jumped on his opponents and buried them with rapid power shots. For comparison, Ituma cast individual arrows and moves away after the attack.
Moses depends on his single Punch power to get a knockout. His work was easier by his promoters in Queensberry, adapting him to a enduring flow of 40-pad.
With competition, such as Dillian Whyte, 37, Mariusz Wach, 45 years elderly and Mike Bologun, 41, did not take them much to bring them to bring them with his single musket fire. Ituma fought in the same way since he was an amateur, and showed no signs of change in his low two -year career.
To become more a draw, Ituma must imitate the early Joshua style, but this would require a warrior, war, thinking of someone on the front lines, ready to risk everything.
Do Sleepy Energy sell fights?
“Moses may not have the same energy yet to lithe a room, but he is 20 years elderly,” said Hearn.
“I disagree with you. I think he has everything,” said Gareth A. Davies.
It’s humorous, how Gareth asks Hearna about her opinion about Ituma, and then tells him that he disagrees with him when his view does not coincide with his own. Why ask Hearn at all?
What Hearn says makes sense. Ituma does not have the same charisma as Joshua showed during his 13-year professional career. Some fans have noticed that listening to Ituma’s conversation makes them sleepy because it does not show much energy or says things that will interest the conversation. He is better when he fights or stands alongside his promoters, Francis and Frank Warren, allowing them to speak for him.
“I will stay with it and say in the first half of the fight. I do not try to hit Anthony Joshua, saying that,” Gareth said to Boxing fansChoosing a phenomenon of heavyweight Moses Itauma to blur Anthony Joshua in six rounds if they were to fight.
Aaron Pryor BluePrint
Joshua is still hazardous with its size, power and speed. If he followed the plan created by fighters in amateurs who were successful against Itum, he could win. He would have to fight like a former world champion in welterweight, Aaron Pryor, have a chance to defeat itauma.
Fighters who were successful against Moses in amateurs, Stylianos Roulias AND Oleksandr ZelenskyiHe attacked him mercilessly, using the Pryor style, forcing him to lose his form. These gigantic massive weight showed that Ituma is not comfortable when he is forced to break. He also cannot load his shots, sometimes it looks torn and desperate.
“Anthony Joshua is also able to throw Moses Itauma. Daniel Dubois is able to lose Moses Itauma, but he is able to throw them away. I just felt that he is unique,” said Gareth about Ituma.

Tim Bradley believes a matchup between David Benavidez and Jai Opetaiathe two leading cruiserweights, is much less competitive than most would anticipate it being.
While nothing is set in stone, the pair have verbally agreed to collide on Cinco de Mayo weekend in 2027, with Benavidez seemingly willing to put his world titles on the line.
The ‘Mexican Monster’ became a three-division world champion in May, dethroning Gilberto Ramirez with a sixth-round stoppage for the WBO and WBA belts at 200lbs.
His next outing, meanwhile, is expected to be a unification match with WBC champion Michal Cieslak in December, when Opetaia could also return to action following his ninth-round stoppage of Noel Mikaelian last month.
The Australian has, in other words, been in talks to move up to heavyweight and face former WBC champion Deontay Wilder, potentially featuring on the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
It remains to be seen whether this will actually take place on December 11, however, as Opetaia may instead look to preserve himself for a Benavidez showdown.
Speaking of which, Hall of Famer Bradley has told Ring Magazine that he maintains his belief that the 29-year-old would dominate the equally unbeaten Opetaia.
“Benavidez is going to motorboat his face with them punches and combinations, man. Okay, he’s been hurt [by previous opponents].
“But then what [does] he do? He finishes them; he destroys them. That’s what Benavidez does. Just because you get hurt don’t mean you weak.”
In terms of Benavidez showing signs of vulnerability, he has only ever been dropped by David Morrell and Ronald Gavril and, even then, these were more flash knockdowns than anything else.
Jaron Ennis is looking to capture the undisputed super-welterweight title within the next 12 months, and whilst many fans deem a potential bout against Sebastian Fundora to be his biggest obstacle, ‘Boots’ thinks his main concern is an alternate 154lb rival.
Ennis knocked out Xander Zayas to claim the WBA and WBO super-welterweight titles in a performance of the year candidate back at the Barclays Center in New York back in June, abandoning a possible super-fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr in order to pursue all four titles.
First, the Philadelphian seems poised to collide with IBF titleholder Josh Kelly, with that unification clash anticipated to take place in January in the United States.
The victor is then expected to meet with WBC titlist Fundora – who defended his world title with a final-second knockout triumph over Ermal Hadribeaj on Saturday – in mid-2027 in a battle to determine the second four-belt champion in the division’s history, after Jermell Charlo.
Yet, whilst stateside fans are currently debating whether the size of Fundora would be an issue for Ennis, ‘Boots’ told DAZN during the Fundora-Hadribeaj broadcast that he believes Kelly to be his toughest opponent in the super-welterweight division.
“The toughest [fight at 154]? I would say Josh Kelly. He can box, he can move, this is what everybody says that I can’t do! I am going to show y’all.”
Ennis-Kelly is close to being finalised for early Januarywith the State Farm Arena in Atlanta understood to be the most likely location for the event.
An in-demand showdown between Naoya Inoue and Jesse Rodriguez was beginning to look less likely, but there are now reports that a deal will be made for a new targeted date.
Following a career-best triumph over Junto Nakatani, Inoue was immediately mentioned for a clash with another pound-for-pound rival Rodriguez, who has since began his move up to super-bantamweight but has stopped off at bantamweight along the way.
At 118lbs, ‘Bam’ debuted with a knockout win against WBA titleholder Antonio Vargasbut wants one more outing in the division before heading to 122lbs, with a unification against WBO world champion Christian Medina being the most likely option.
In response, Inoue agreed to wait but set a deadline of March 2027 for their meeting, until suggestions of a fight in either April or May then caused Inoue to instead begin preparation for a move up to featherweight last week.
Yet, speaking with Ring MagazineRodriguez’s trainer Robert Garcia maintained confidence that a deal will be struck for Inoue vs Bam to take place in March.
“I think that Inoue is just playing it smart. I don’t think that he is backing out of the fight. We will make a deal for March.”
Rodriguez-Medina has been mentioned as a possible bout for the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard on Friday, December 11, alongside a potential heavyweight match-up involving Deontay Wilder and Jai Opetaia, as well as a proposed appearance from Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao.
