Francis Warren, the promoter of Moses Itauma, says he is interested in Itauma (12-0, 10 COs) who may be fighting in Glasgow, Scotland, Otto Wallin or Jermaine Franklin the following Saturday night, after his second round of Mike Balogun.
Itauma’s next battle options
Wallin lost two of his last four fights and came with a defeat against 41-year-old traveler Derek Chisora. Most fans would agree that Wallin would be a poor option for Itauma to fight if the idea is to develop him and give him rounds. I doubt it would be the purpose of Itauma’s management to fight. The choice of Wallin (34) would make Itauma look good.
Francis also says they want a ‘Top 10‘Opponent for Itauma in a heavyweight — eliminator. The use of Wallin or Jermaine Franklin would not work if they go on the route. None of the travelers are arranged in the top -10 by any of the four sanctions bodies, and Franklin is not arranged in the top -15.
It is not ideal for Itauma to follow the easy route to become compulsory for the winner of the Oleksandr Ulsyk against Daniel Dubois Fight. The 20-year-old Itauma is not developed with the poor match that is constantly being done for him. This is the criticism that fans have about Itauma.
Create a fake star
Itauma seems to be created to look better than him. The opposition hurled in the ring for Moses to fight He is manufactured to be a fake star.
The problem with these kinds of fighters is that they must be protected by their careers to prevent them from losing. We just saw another false, Tyson Fury, being beaten repeatedly when he finally acted for the first time in his career against his first quality fighter, Oleksandr Usyk.
For Itauma to be developed in a right way, he must fight these fighters for the next two or three years:
– Joseph Parker
– Agit Kabayel
– Zhilei Zhang
– Jalolov Yalolov
– Richard Torrez Jr.
– fly
– Filip Hrgovic
– Fabio Wardley
– Martin Bakole
It does not appear that the management of Moses Itauma is interested in suiting any of these fighters, except for the badly conditioned 300 pounds of baking. I doubt itauma would beat even half of the above fighters because he was hit, and he looked vulnerable last night against former NFL player Mike Balogun.
Match: Smoking and mirrors
“We want to fight someone in the top -10, and it will be an eliminator. I’m pretty sure we could do that, ‘promoter Francis Warren said Boxnation about Moses Itauma’s next battle. “I think Otto Wallin would be a wonderful Fight next for him. “
Wallin would be a terrible choice because he can’t hit, get a defeat against Chisora, and he probably won’t give itauma rounds. Otto was knocked out in five rounds by Anthony Joshua in 2023. He was dropped twice by the washed Chisora in February. It tells you everything you need to know why Wallin would be selected for Itauma’s next opponent. He is an easy mark and will be no threat of exposing the 20-year-old Moses.
“Otto has proven to be a very durable, tough opponent, who has respected the boxing community because of the work he did against Tyson (Fury), Anthony (Joshua),” Francis said. “He gave Derek (Chisora) a big fight, and for Moses, who wants to get a few rounds, it’s probably a big challenge. Jermaine Franklin is another one I especially like. By the end of the year, we want to significantly increase it. ‘
Franklin lost two of his last four battles and is not arranged. Itauma’s management should aim higher than he and Wallin. They should again focus on matching Itauma against fighters such as Kabayel, Torrez Jr., Jalolov, Dubois, Ajagba and Wardley. If Itauma loses to the guys, his promoters can focus on developing him more. So far, no development is done. He is fed with tomato cans to make him look good, but it is clear that it is smoking and mirrors.
Bakole: Not Itauma’s level
“We get #1 with the WBO,” Francis said that Itauma is being moved to #1 by the World Boxing Organization. “He’s Top #3 with the WBA. So, we’re sitting well with two of the organizations, and I think it’s up to us when we want to pull the trigger to raise our hands to move to the next phase. ‘
Surprisingly, Itauma was raised to #1 WBO after being a non-top-15 fighter, Balogun. How is this done? Itauma has not yet fought a contender, and he probably should not be arranged in the upper level, given the poor opposition he has cut. Itauma is combined like Edgar Berlanga was when the top rank promoted him. They fed him 16 tightly at the beginning of his career, which allowed him to create a record of 16-0 with 16 knockouts. When he took action against Journeymen, he began to struggle and left the company soon. Itauma is moved just like him.
‘Choosing Martin Bakole is a big mistake. Even Frank (Warren) knows that I’m not his level, ‘Martin Bakole said for Talksport box, making it clear that he views Moses Itauma as below his level on which he works. “I look forward to fighting for the world title. If he wants to fight against me, I don’t know why I would fight against him. For what? ‘
