Brandon Moore has his sights set on DeAndre Savage next and Moses Itauma in the future. 

“You fight someone who is 37 years old, of course, you are going to beat the old man, unfortunately,” Moore, 18-1 (10 KOs), told BoxingScene. “These English polite guys come get your ass whooped by an American heavyweight. He is fighting these slow English guys who are polite.”

“These guys are boring heavyweights,” Moore said. “They give me Klitschko vibes.”

Moore also believes Itauma, the 20-year-old with a record of 13-0 (11 KOs), has yet to be pushed, and is eager for the chance to do so.

“He hasn’t been tested, and I want to be that test,” Moore said. “I am ready to see what he is about.”

Moore, of Lakeland, Florida, began boxing as an adult. He admits he is still learning, but the former college basketball player has put his competitive drive into boxing. He entered the sport with a mindset of facing the most formidable fighters he could. Moore had strong words for Savage ahead of their bout. 

“I am going to make this fight look real easy,” Moore said. “I want to be known for taking the hard fights. I take the best fights I can, and my resume proves it.”

Savage, 10-0 (10 KOs), is a big puncher who is looking to step up in competition. Savage, a 34-year-old from Flint, Michigan, has won all of his bouts by knockout, except for a September no-contest to KeShawn Jackson in his hometown. Moore credits his recent wins over Stanley Wright and Sklyar Lacy to the experience he gained in a loss to Richard Torrez Jnr last year. 

“I have been fighting for seven years just gaining experience,” Moore said. “The Torrez fight really set me up to beat these last two undefeated fighters.”

Moore believes that if he keeps winning, a fight with Itauma will get made. He explained why. 

“It is going to get made, because as long as I say I want it,” Moore said. “If he doesn’t take it, that means he is ducking the fight.”
