Whoever there is that's old. [Zhilei] Zhang, whoever else the f--- there is, Luis Ortiz. All these big names of the past. "Even the man who took my belts [Usyk]. Moses will wreck him because it's a young man versus an old man. And an old man can't mess with a young man.""

In August, he moved up in competition, facing veteran Dillian White, whom he finished in less than two minutes. Itauma is one of the most exciting heavyweights in boxing and one that former champion Tyson Fury has deemed the future of the division."
