Torrez has called for an Itauma fight on three separate occasions. I doubt that fight will happen this early; not until both have belts to unify.
That's cool and I appreciate Torrez, who isn't going anywhere, attaching his name to Itauma to try and generate some buzz for himself but I don't believe his handlers let him near Moses in a million years
Moses Itauma has yet to be matched in a real fight 'which has not been manufactured so? The likely-hood of him winning is super high'.
This seems to be the style of boxing promoting being used by certain promoters 'mainly British boxing promoters. Most recently seen with Eddie Hearn and his management of Conor Benn's career'.
Eddie Hearn never promoted Anthony Joshua in this way, but? I think since Joshua's two battles vs. Oleksandr Uysk. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom have definitively been promoting their fighters differently'.
Note: Because in retrospect Anthony Joshua's two fights vs. Oleksandr Uysk did not have to happen. The match up vs. Uysk was not considered a mega fight at the time, and nobody really within the boxing community was putting pressure on Joshua to fight Uysk. The fights that were still demanding the most significance for Joshua were vs. both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder'.
So who should Moses Itauma fight next? Well let's actually put him in a real fights 'Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin, let's all be honest. They are not winning fighters. And they are mile outside of their peak'.
Dillian Whyte was on a ketogenic diet, for his preparation vs. Moses Itauma 'if you understand real training, then you will be aware that no professional athlete. Especially in a performance based sport like boxing, should be using a ketogenic diet'.
And I don't care what the lower weight class fighters do, with their backwards training the methodologies to make the weight limit 'I have stated this before, lower weight class fighters in this modern era of professional boxing is not pure combat competition. It is a game of who can make the weight best, or weight drain themselves the most. Then make excuses, if they lose or underperform'.
Fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Bernard Hopkins 'were old school fighters, in a modern era. They did not weight drain themselves extensively, and they were all about pure combat sports competition'.
But back onto the topic of Moses Itauma, he has fought zero live fighters in his professional career 'and somebody needs to tell him this'.
So his next fight needs to be against a live fighter 'a opponent that is coming to win. Itauma is quite fortunate in my opinion, that this era of heavyweight boxing is in its conclusive stages. There are no real super talented fighters active at top level'.
The only fighters that we have knocking about are 'fighters that were not good enough, to be serious factors during the Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder Heavyweight reigns'.
Don't kid yourselves, Parker, Kayabel, Bakole 'all of those fighters and more were all active, during the Fury, Joshua and Wilder Heavyweight reigns'.
To conclude: If I was to give one fight for Moses Itauma 'a decent domestic fight would be against Joe Joyce'.
The reason why I have picked Joe Joyce, is although he is not at his peak and would not be the favourite 'I think he would definitively come to win'.
Moses Itauma needs to be involved in intriguing match ups, to build narrative in his career 'a fight vs. Joe Joyce for me is interesting and could potentially be a competitive fight. It is a fight Itauma should win if he is to progress into World level' etc.
