Is Itauma vs Usyk the Biggest Fight in Boxing by 2027?

[FlatLine]

The heavyweight division has historically been the glamor division. Itauma's stardom is growing with a string of highly impressive wins and devastating knockouts which have been featured *******ly across social media worldwide. Depending on his next one or two fights, Itauma may quickly become the most demanded opponent for Usyk to face. Some regular boxing pundits are already saying Itauma could beat Usyk today!

If Itauma beats a few more names, like for example Miller and Dubois this year, and assuming Usyk doesn't lose in the meantime, could Usyk vs Itauma be the biggest fight in boxing by 2027?

[SouthpawRight]

Yes

Biblical Moses will squeeze in 3 more fights between now and then

The latter 2 being top 10 guys would make Biblical Moses a BIG DEAL opponent for Okeksandr

I believe Oleksandr is in no rush so Turki will bid it up

Turki is on record saying he prefers black heavyweight champs Biblical Moses can play the role

[SouthpawRight]

Only potential 2027 fight that could rival Biblical Moses Oleksandr is Saul Santos v Fat Dave

Still edge goes to the heavies as they get the most attention

Itauma beat nobody so far. If he can get two good wins in 2026, than yes.
