Interesting that Itauma passed. Maybe there's something about fighting Sanchez that they feel is too risky?

The money is Sanchez biggest roadblock. He has skills but brings little to the table. Kevin Johnson faced the exact same issues early in his career then Vitali Klitschko cherry picked Kingpin & cruised to sn easy UD. Johnson then chose to become a travelling journeyman who did just enough to lose but he made a solid living doing it all while travelling the world. Sanchez may want to look at that route. I remember when Kingpin fought Charr. The sky sports UK commentators pointed out Johnson was much more skilled than he was showing…

Money isn't an object where the next great British hypejob, YungMo, is concerned.

Mo's dismissal reeks of teeny little duck balls...

The risk/reward of Sanchez isnt great for a guy with the level of hype Itauma has. Good fighter but not a big name.

Is that Itama out of the top 15 then? It should be

I hope Torrez takes it, wins, and continues to call out Itauma.

Quack quack, Moshe.

Eddie Hearn has recently suggested that Anthony Joshua's comeback fight, will be against a solid level fighter 'but not a very high ranked fighter. I think a fighter like Frank Sanchez would be a good fight for Joshua. Especially in terms of the challenge that he would encounter, because Sanchez skill for skill is a really solid fighter'.

If Anthony Joshua was able to beat a fighter of the calibre of Frank Sanchez impressively 'then this would indicate for sure that he still has the ability to potentially fight for a World title in the future'.

Note: The issue that Frank Sanchez has in his career, is not his performances or ability 'he has produced many good performances, where he has displayed impressive boxing skills. But as a attraction in the professional world of boxing, Sanchez really has not in any of his fights be able to a narrative that intrigues the boxing community'.

Even fighters like Martin Bakole, who I personally don't think are as talented as Frank Sanchez 'Bakole has received big opportunities, because of his performances combined with the Jacknory's and sparring stories which surround him that have created a narrative in his career'.

To conclude: Moses Ituama is in a different position to Anthony Joshua 'Queensbury boxing and Frank Warren are attempting to build a Heavyweight boxing star. Anthony Joshua is already a Super Star so whoever he fights next, will be a mega fight'.

That is why I don't really think Frank Sanchez would be the next best fight for Ituama 'there are many more exciting fights that can be made for him at this stage in his career. I am sure that fighters such as Andy Ruiz Junior if given the optimal time to prepare, would challenge Moses Ituama. The fight would be a high jeopardy fight for Itauma, but a potential win would solidify him as a genuine World level fighter' etc.

Thought they said they was ready for anybody?

They don't want to face Sanchez because he's a good mover, good counterpuncher and can match him in handspeed.

Instead we'll be force fed more dog**** with Itauma taking on more static opposition with no defence or chin so we can keep hearing Mike Tyson comparisons and brainwashed into accepting he's so great merely for a bit of peace.
It'll be a shot, morbidly obese Jermain Franklin coming off a gift decision and we'll have to endure the usual vomit - He's not been stopped. Oh he's only lost to elite guys. Dodgy used car salesman tactics in full effect
