    Fighting a version of Dillian Whyte, miles outside of his peak 'and now an out of condition Jermaine Franklin by his recent standards. Is not really great preparation for a World title challenger'.

    I thought Frank Warren and Queensbury boxing, where meant to be experts at building and developing fighters? They have been for the majority of their careers, but if people in the game think Itauma is ready to become a World Champion. And then remain as a dominant World Champion, just because he has blasted out a few stylistically manufactured opponents. Then in my opinion, Moses Itauma is not being managed for developed correctly as a fighter of his perceived calibre'.

    Note: Before Moses Itauma fought Dillian Whyte, I believed stylistically Joe Joyce 'would have been a much better fight for him. And before his most recent fight against Jermaine Franklin was announced, fights against Frank Sanchez, Efe Ajagba or Martin Bakole where all better challengers and development fights for Itauma'.

    Nevertheless, Moses Itauma is rising in the game at a very opportune time 'the Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder Heavyweight era is in its conclusive stages. Oleksandr Uysk as the current undisputed champion, in all honesty? Does not appear to really have a massive appetite to defend his titles'.

    In reality? Uysk has defended his titles against all the fighters that matter from his heavyweight era 'I don't think fighters such as Moses Itauma really deserve an undisputed title fight vs Oleksandr Uysk. Itauma was not a top level amateur fighter, and he has achieved nothing much in the professional ranks so far in his career'.

    Soon enough people are going to want to see Moses Itauma matched in real high jeopardy fights 'not fights where even surface level fans of the sports, can see that his wins are being manufactured. Itauma is being matched to win at this stage of his career, but fighters only develop their skills if they extend themselves inside the boxing ring'.

    When Anthony Joshua fought Wladimir Kiltschko in his 19th professional fight 'At Wembley Stadium front of 90'000 + spectators. He was extending himself as a fighter, and World Heavyweight Champion'

    To conclude: Moses Itauma so far in his career, has not really been asked to extend himself in a fight 'the opportunity was potentially there vs Frank Sanchez, but for whatever reason his team decided to turn down that fight'.

    If Moses Itauma keeps winning, and the titles become vacate he should acquire a title fight ' but then he needs serious development as a fighter, to remain a Champion in the game' etc.
