Moses Itauma, a 20-year-old southpaw, extended his perfect record to 13-0 with a first-round knockout of Dillian Whyte in Riyadh, displaying exceptional movement, speed and accuracy. Tyson Fury suggested Itauma could beat undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk, but Itauma instead mentioned contenders such as Agit Kabayel and WBO interim champion Joseph Parker. Former world champion Amir Khan praised Itauma's balance, composure and technique, and urged cautious matchmaking under promoter Frank Warren. Khan warned that an early fight with Usyk could cause a damaging defeat and recommended progressive steps against experienced contenders like Parker or Hrgovic.
He was fighting like a middleweight or even a lightweight with the movement and speed he had, how quick he was throwing those shots, they were all so clean and accurate, Khan told PA Media. He was very balanced, was calm and collected. The guy is going to go far and when you see talent like that, you think amazing'.
I know Frank will steadily promote him the right way and also get him the right fights at the right time. I know people are talking about Usyk, but I think that is way too early because he is going to end up getting hurt. You don't want to take a defeat like that, because you will never be the same fighter again.
