Moses Itauma is the most formidable dangerous threat to Usyk but since Itauma brutalized Whyte KO 1 Usyk still has not issued any kind of statement or comment which boxing fans are clamoring to hear. Itauma and his trainer said he will fight Usyk next if the opportunity arises, it would be a win-win situation to gain that experience of competing with an all time great in his prime. But nothing from Usyk. Is Usyk hiding and avoiding the topic? Boxing media has to get on it and get to work tracking Usyk down, we want to hear what Usyk thinks of Itauma asap. The hype needs to start now.
Itauma simply isnt deserving or ready nor worth Usyk's time to even talk about.
At this stage of his career, Itauma is still in the toilet training stage.
He's still learning how to wipe his own arse vs the ol guys wearing skiddy bigboy pants.
YungMo really needs to shït or get off the pot and face a legit contender.
I think Oleksandr Uysk should fight Moses Itauma as soon as possible 'If he wants to beat him. Not because Itauma is a better fighter than Uysk, but quite simply because Oleksandr Uysk is in the latter stages of his career'.
Moses Itauma from my observation, may be a fighter who fades as the fight progresses 'for sure he has some ability, but what he is doing now in his career is no different to how Anthony Joshua was performing in his early career against arguable superior competition'.
Note: So far Moses Itauma has been matched in fights, were he is being matched to win 'Dillian Whyte was a inactive fighter, both in the professional aspect of the sport and outside the boxing ring. That is why in his prior fight to competing against Itauma he was 261 pounds. Whyte is also a fighter who has been miles outside of his peak for many years.
I honestly think that Anthony Joshua is the only top level fighter, who has a highly rated win over Dillian Whyte. Back in 2015, Whyte could move inside the boxing ring much better and he was actually in solid condition. After that fight, Dillian Whyte on a fight by fight basis seemed to decrease in ability. Ether he was becoming more inflexible as a fighter, or gaining unnecessary unfunctional mass'.
I think it is a telling sign, that for whatever reason Moses Itauma and his team have rejected the offer to fight Frank Sanchez 'it may not be the biggest and most marketable fight for Itauma. But a win against Sanchez would make him the number 1 ranked Mandatory contender for the IBF title. Stylistically it is also a good development fight for Itauma, Sanchez can move and he has solid boxing fundamental skills'.
To conclude: I am not going to keep overlooking how Moses Itauma's team are managing him at this stage of his career 'first Ben Davidson stated that, he does not allow Moses Itauma to spar ether Anthony Joshua or Fabio Wardley in training. Why? If he is so good, what is the issue? Anthony Joshua throughout his entire career has sparred many top level fighters. And he has most likely dominated them. So much so? When Daniel Dubois achieved one to two good rounds vs Joshua in training, that was enough of an achievement for Frank Warren to sign him to his roster of fighters'.
So overall, Moses Itauma has talent, he is clearly a destructive fighter 'if he opponents stand in front of him. But there are just too many things, which I find very dubious in his career. Turning down IBF eliminator fights, and not allowing him to spar fighters such as Anthony Joshua and Fabio Wardley' etc.
Smart move, Itauma is the best IMO, so why give anyone a free lesson. They may fight later, why give them a taste of the speed and power. Very smart to keep the mystique. Sanchez - Itauma team probably figured they had the shot at Usyk without needing any eliminators. But now that Usyk has stated he wont ever fight Itauma, we may see a change of plans by Itauma and he will schedule an eliminator to force Usyk into the fight.
I think Oleksandr Uysk should fight Moses Itauma as soon as possible 'If he wants to beat him. Not because Itauma is a better fighter than Uysk, but quite simply because Oleksandr Uysk is in the latter stages of his career'.

Itauma`s best win is the ghost of Whyte.
Fury beat better version of Whyte with one hand.
If Usyk fights and beats Itauma right now, nothing will change, Fury will remain his best win.
If Itauma can beat Kabayel, than, well..
Fury did not look good vs Whyte until he landed the home run punch uppercut. Fury actually looked bad until that shot which may have been a tad lucky. Nobody remembers how badly Fury tried to duck Whyte. Fury tried everything but got railroaded into it against his will.
Fury has been shot since the post Klitschko hiatus. But Fury is so talented and physically superior that even though he was shot he could still beat most of the top contenders. However Fury knew he could not beat AJ and Usyk. He successfully ducked AJ and he tried to duck Usyk but Turki forced him into both Usyk fights.
Nah...he's just the latest fraudulent British hypejob getting lined up for a payday.
It's natural reaction to say that but the blinding speed, accuracy, precision and stunning power of those Itauma combinations was something very special very different than anything we've seen in decades. Those aesthetics of those punches don't lie. Itauma's KO 1 Whyte was more impressive than anything Tyson did pre Berbick. And I expect Itauma to get a lot better because there will be no Robin Givens and Don King to wreck his soul.

No doubt Itauma is the most threatening challenger Usyk has ever seen in his career.

Torrez has fast feet and is hungry, lets first see how those combination hold up if the opponent makes a sidestep.
And a static head
Itauma by disgustingly sickening ko
Usyk’s silence doesn’t necessarily mean he’s avoiding Itauma. Champions often stay quiet while their team assesses risks, negotiations, and timing before making statements. While Itauma’s KO of Whyte makes him a dangerous contender, Usyk and his camp are likely weighing the matchup carefully and may address it when the context is right. Media pressure can push comments, but for now, the lack of public reaction is just strategic caution rather than fear or avoidance.
You may be right. And you may be wrong. No doubt Itauma is the most threatening challenger Usyk has ever seen in his career.
Moses Itauma is the most formidable dangerous threat to Usyk, but since Itauma brutalized Whyte KO 1, Usyk still has not issued any kind of statement or comment, which boxing fans are clamoring to hear. Some fans are even distracted by other interests, like trying to learn Quran online, while Itauma and his trainer said he will fight Usyk next if the opportunity arises; it would be a win-win situation to gain that experience of competing with an all-time great in his prime. But nothing from Usyk. Is Usyk hiding and avoiding the topic? Boxing media has to get on it and get to work tracking Usyk down; we want to hear what Usyk thinks of Itauma ASAP.

Itauma KO Whyte is more impressive than anything Tyson did before the Berbick fight. Torrez and Sanchez are undercard fillers.
Says who ??? Combat rock your full of chit
Moses running from non contender like Sanchez says it all
Sanchez and Torrez or meaningless to Itauma and irrelevant in pro boxing. They need to go out there and make names for themselves by achieving something sensational like Itauma did vs Whyte. If they can make their names they will eventually get their shot at Itauma. Itauma is too busy to fight everyone who says his name. Usyk will have to fight Itauma or risk looking like a duck
Stfu
When exactly did the I don’t fight Itauma make his name ???
Combat chit is what I call Moses or your double f@ckin standards
Just another British hypejob that Kuntdale and yourself can boast about
Hypocrite f@cks , different strokes for different folks
Better to stay under the rock
:eek:
Fast feet and being hungry doesn't sell tickets. Sensational knockouts do.
Povetkin did it better when Whyte still had the illusion of becoming champ but that was half a decade ago.
Torrez has fast feet and is hungry, lets first see how those combination hold up if the opponent makes a sidestep.
Fast feet and being hungry doesn't sell tickets. Sensational knockouts do.
Itching to find out what Usyk can do against a top FIVE contender who isn't demonstrably washed up and not named Dubois. Kabayel, Parker, Itauma, Wardley, Miller and Hrgovic are all available to help him do that. Parker and Wardley are signed to eliminate one. Usyk has earned his holiday; but before Q-2 2026, he'll need to either retire and pause the linial title and splinter the belts; or defend his title.
Parker and Wardley are not sitting around waiting, and neither should the others.
Itauma KO Whyte is more impressive than anything Tyson did before the Berbick fight. Torrez and Sanchez are undercard fillers.

The hype has died down, there have been 2 chances to keep the hype going on in fighting Torrez a silver medalist and Frank Sanchez a rated contender. Both have been passed on. That is all on record.
Itauma KO Whyte is more impressive than anything Tyson did before the Berbick fight. Torrez and Sanchez are undercard fillers.
That's the thing
If itauma beats nobody after losing to us people will say so what he was nothing
If he becomes the next lineal champion and dominates the division then people will say he beat nobody when usyk fought him so he was green.
It's like lose lose for usyk so usyk might as well just fight parker
Yes, if itauma wants usyk before usyk retires, all itaumas needs to do is best a decent fighter first. That's not hard
