Tyson Fury Hails Moses Itauma as Future Heavyweight Champion
Tyson Fury, the reigning heavyweight boxing champion, is tipping 19-year-old British sensation Moses Itauma as the heir to the heavyweight throne. As the era of fighters like Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Oleksandr Usyk winds down, attention turns to the next generation of heavyweights, with Itauma emerging as a standout prospect.
Fury recently took to Instagram to endorse Itauma, dubbing him "the future of the heavyweight division." Itauma, known for his explosive fighting style, has garnered comparisons to boxing icon Mike Tyson, with aspirations to break Tyson's record as the youngest heavyweight champion in history.
Itauma's professional journey has been nothing short of impressive, with the Chatham-based boxer winning all seven of his pro bouts, including five by first-round knockout. His success extends to the amateur circuit, where he remained undefeated with a record of 24-0 and claimed gold at the Youth European and World Championships.
Notably, Itauma has caught the attention of the boxing elite, serving as a sparring partner for top contenders like Joe Joyce, Anthony Joshua, and Tyson Fury himself. Recently, he joined Fury's camp to mimic the style of Oleksandr Usyk ahead of Fury's bout with the Ukrainian.
As he prepares for his upcoming fight against Dan Garber on Friday, Itauma's trajectory continues to captivate the boxing world. With his blend of skill, power, and determination, Itauma stands poised to make a significant impact on the heavyweight scene in the years to come.
