Moses Itauma, a 20-year-old British heavyweight born in Slovakia, is widely regarded as one of boxing’s brightest prospects, drawing comparisons to Mike Tyson for his explosive power and poise. Ranked No. 1 by the WBO, Itauma faces his toughest test yet against Whyte, a 37-year-old former title challenger with wins over notable names like Joseph Parker and Oscar Rivas. A victory for Itauma could propel him toward a world title shot, while Whyte aims to prove he remains a top-tier contender.
Analysts predict a stylistic clash, with Itauma’s speed, combination punching, and body work pitted against Whyte’s experience, grit, and counterpunching. DAZN’s Matt Astbury forecasts a late stoppage for Itauma, targeting Whyte’s body, while Andrew Steel warns that Whyte’s ring savvy could pose problems if the fight extends into later rounds.
