The Moses Itauma against Dillian Whyte card on August 16 needs a great under map fight to attract fans to order them on Dazn PPV. Itauma-Anitauma is considered by fans as a mismatch between the 37-year-old Whyte and the strong hyped itauma (12-0, 10 COs).
Required: a strong co-function
The co-function on the map, WBA spring weight champion Nick ball Defense against the inexperienced Super Bantamweight Sam Goodmanis an embarrassing poor struggle. It does not belong on a PPV card, especially not one with a $ 49.99 price tag. The battle must be on the Prelim card, because no one has asked for it, and it is a mismatch. Even on the Prelim card, Ball-Goodman would be weak.
What the map needs is a good co-fight that will interest fans in the US and the UK. The fundamental problem is that whyte by fans as a crop fighterJust hanging around for pay days. He is unable to beat any of the top five-level fights, and the only reason he is fighting this battle is to ensure that Itauma is not exposed as a hype work.
The most important support fight should be good enough to show fans the horrible main event between Itauma and Whyte. That fight does not sell. If it was 2016, it could interest fans, but not in 2025. Dillian is an old relic of the past and should not fight on a PPV card unless he is deeply, out of sight, buried, where human eyes cannot see him.
Ideally, Turki Alalshikh Whyte should exchange Joseph Parker or Agit Kabayel for Itauma’s opponent. This will solve a lot of the problems. Dump Whyte and use one of the two as Itauma’s opponent. If Moses is supposed to be the next Mike Tyson, he must be able to beat Parker and Kabayel.

Raymond Ford was supposed to face Anthony Cacace, but he pulls out of the map. Veteran Abraham Nova was brought in as a substitute. This is not a big battle. Nova has a record of 1-2-1 in its last four fights.
