Fighter Profiles

Moses Itauma 🇬🇧

Undefeated phenom and WBO #1 contender.

Ruthlessly dispatched Demsey McKean, Mariusz Wach, and Mike Balogun—all inside two rounds.

Fast hands, explosive power, and composure beyond his years.

A win here could set up a title shot against Oleksandr Usyk or another top-tier heavyweight.

Dillian Whyte 🇬🇧

Former British and interim world champion.

Has shared the ring with Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Derek Chisora.

Known for grit, power, and veteran savvy—but has boxed just three times in the past 2.5 years.

Last fought in December, forcing Ebenezer Tetteh to retire after seven rounds.

Strategic Breakdown

Itauma’s Game Plan: Use speed and angles to avoid Whyte’s power, break him down with body shots, and finish strong.

Whyte’s Game Plan: Make it ugly, lean on experience, and test Itauma’s chin and composure in the trenches.
